A finely moulded Hellenistic terracotta head of a youthful man. His hair is worn in closely cropped curls, parted down the middle, and held by a fillet. Hellenistic portraits of this type are reminiscent of Alexander the Great. These finely moulded figures, often highly decorated, rose in popularity during the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. Common themes include fashionable women, gods and godesses, heroic athletes, and bacchanalian merriment.
