Technical considerations prove that this cannot be the case and that the fragment must belong to a mirror handle, closely comparable to the famous ‘griffin-sla…
The Enkomi Warrior Head Reconsidered
An ivory warrior head, discovered at the end of the last century in Enkomi Tomb 16, has often been mentioned and illustrated in the literature but it has never been the subject of a detailed study.
