Hollow terracotta votive head and neck of a youth. The head is frontal, showing a young man or child with short hair. The brow, eyes, nose, ears, mouth and chin are modeled naturalistically. A mantle covers the top and back of the head. The head is in good condition, with some chips around the edge of the mantle, a chipped chin, broken nose, and gouge on the right side of the face.
