Commentaire sur les représentations

"This finely carved relief head depicts a Persian, identified by the distinctive head scarf tied around the neck and pulled over his chin. The relief, once part of a pediment or metope adorning a Tarentine funerary naiskos, probably depicted a battle or hunt." (Met Museum)
