16929B 31-43-89 (none) (none) Clay mould. (A) For a female head in profile, high relief: head with filletted and braided hair, looking right (in impression): rows of necklaces. Full face, rather pleasing and not like the usual Sumerian type. (B) For a bearded male figure, draped, standing in profile facing left (in impression) with hands clasped on breast. Very fine work, bold and yet delicate, perhaps goldsmiths moulds: the female head is best suited to such technique as gold-working. Brought in together and said to have been found together.
