CYPRIOTIC TERRACOTTA FIGURINE OF PRIEST Ca. 500 - 400 BC A Cypriot pottery figurine of priest with characteristic Cypriot features such as sizable heavy-lidded eyes, a pointed nose, full lips, and a narrow chin. The forehead of the priest is covered by a high and pointed headdress. This man with his elongated and flat body dressed in a long robe may have been part of a votary figure or served as a protome.
