Description
Content (description)
This head is very similar to Bm 12 no. 9 and were it not for the fact that two different numbers are quoted for them in Fa3 they would be identified as the same. They differ in that the helmet here as a griffin by the side of the plume and not a dog. Also this head is clearly broken from a larger figure and traces of drapery survive by the neck.
