Technical Observations: The patina is green with areas of underlying red. Brown burial accretions are also present. A thick layer of green corrosion products obscures the details of the object, especially the face.
The simple irregular shapes indicate that the object was cast from a model made directly in the wax. There is no clear evidence of cold working, although some could be present under the corrosion layers of the face.
