Peut-on la contempler ?

This enigmatic object is in the form of a stylized male head above a transverse bar. The head seems to wear a Phrygian cap, with a very slight peak, decorated with rows of dots. The head is almond-shaped. The eyes, nose, mouth, and chin are modeled; punched dots represent the pupils of the eyes. The neck tapers away from the head and becomes what appears to be a hand that clasps the transverse cylindrical bar. This object is not clearly an antiquity, and there are no known parallels for it at this time.
