One of six frontal bearded male head appliques (96.AM.110.5-.10), made of thin metal hammered into a mold. The Herakles-like male has large almond eyes and short pointed beard, with hair falling behind the ears. He is crowned with a wreath of pointed leaves. This is the most fully preserved of the group.
