The face is that of a young subject, portrayed in a naturalistic way, with the intention to represent a king or a young Ptolemaic prince. The absent nose and the worn surface make it difficult to completely understand the physiognomy, although the prolonged lines of the eyes, extending to the corners, reveals a characteristic Egyptian trait. The representation of hair is not Egyptian, however, but appears in many Ptolemaic and Roman statues with Greek features. A parallel can be found in the colossal head recovered from the sea in the harbour of Alexandria (Goddio, Fabre, 2009, fig.20).
