Head of an Etruscan statue found in Tomb "B" of the Molinello Tumulus in Asciano. The head, dating to the late 7th – early 6th century BC, is sculpted in travertine and features a characteristic "stepped" hairstyle. This particular hairstyle is a distinctive element of the Etruscan sculptural style of the time. The artwork reflects the artistic skill and attention to detail of Etruscan sculptors.
