Description: Miscellaneous 7 is an upright miniature tenon sculpture in geometric style in the form of a human head. The head itself is very rectilinear and each of the six sides is flat with features standing out in relief or otherwise projecting from the flat surface. The face is very simple with a hooked nose, bulging lozenge-shaped eyes, an open mouth and a projecting chin. A cap is worn with a trident crest, and low relief flaps on the sides and down the back. The ears are represented by low relief circles.
Remarks: Weiant (1943) illustrates a nearly identical tenon sculpture in his Plates 68-3 and 69-1.
