Description
This head of a bearded god is a rare example of sculptrue in the round from Dura-Europos, in contrast to the large number of reliefs discovered there. It almost certainly represents a god: Hadad is one possibility, in part based on the sculpture's findspot outside of the temple of his consort Atargatis. Black pigment is well preserved on the large, almond-shaped eyes and eyebrows (not available in this scan), as is red pigment on the lips.
