Head of a Woman

At first I thought African because of her longer neck, but other features did not look African, to me..
I dont think Asian or European

My next thought was precolumbian, but they don't often depict long necks and beadwork

The "crown" looks familiar, but I cant place it

Any ideas?

 

Are you sure it's a female? A male to my eye.

Debora

 

The thought of a male did cross my mind

 

Modern home decor pieces. Would also think Indonesia,Cambodia or such.

 

Something like:

Yes, tribal India, Muria (Maria) tribe. It is a man, the headdress is worn during a wedding dance:



Women wear a feather headdress:

Thanks yall!
I kept also trying to place it in mesopotamia, and it wasn't fitting, but does India makes sense

It is made of metal, and I figured it was newer, the little square indented on the back of the head looks like it once held a "made in ...", but I said I'd try and figure it out for them

I have some neater statues/carvings of women I'm going to be posting later. I saw paperwork on them that had been printed out a couple years ago, but it has since been lost.
One reminds me of the sleeping lady of malta and the other reminds me of venus of willendorf, but also, not really.. Im going to see them and take pictures today, so I'll post them probably this afternoon/evening.

 

One of my pre-historic favourites, I have a replica in my study.
