This terracotta bust features distinctive ancient Sumerian stylistic elements, with a pale beige upper portion contrasting against a darker, weathered base. The sculpture shows elaborate headdress decoration with a zigzag pattern carved across the top. Notable are the large, elongated ears adorned with decorative elements on each side. The facial features are stylized and symmetrical, with prominent eyes and a strong, defined nose. A unique feature is the elongated, rectangular projection extending downward from the chin area. The torso portion is partially preserved in a darker color, showing signs of age and wear with areas where the original surface has flaked away. The overall composition is frontal and hieratic in its presentation, characteristic of ancient Mesopotamian sculptural traditions.
