这尊小型石灰石雕刻的男性头像原本属于一个人物雕塑。这顶圆锥形的帽子表明他是一位高贵的人物，出现于公元前八世纪末的黎凡特地区，并于公元前七世纪中叶传到塞浦路斯。这尊帽子的特点是顶部有条纹状突起，侧面有可以放下或系紧的带子，带子末端是流苏。在拱形眉毛下，用浮雕刻出杏仁状的眼睛，还有突出的耳朵。
背景：塞浦路斯没有大理石，塞浦路斯艺术家只能使用软石灰岩，这种石灰岩在岛的中部和东南部很丰富。因此，最早的雕塑出现在戈尔盖地区并逐渐传播到其他中心，如伊达利翁、阿尔索斯和基蒂翁，这些中心都位于富含石灰岩的地区，这并不奇怪。
公元前六世纪初，石雕艺术的发展达到了顶峰。在此期间，腓尼基人活跃于岛上，并引入了埃及艺术元素。这种影响可以在一系列大大小小的男性信徒雕像中看到，尽管当地品味构成了许多塞浦路斯信徒和牧师的肖像画基础。这个时代的塞浦路斯雕塑的一个普遍特点是多色装饰，希腊雕塑中也有这种特征。 MMA 的塞斯诺拉收藏中的许多作品都保留了黑色、红色和其他颜色，该收藏拥有一些公元前六世纪和五世纪塞浦路斯雕塑的最佳范例
