Tell Brak Head

The Tell Brak Head is an important prehistoric Middle Eastern sculpture found at the ancient site of Tell Brak in Syria. It has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1939.〔(British Museum Collection )〕 Dated by archaeologists to before 3300 BC, it is considered to be one of the oldest portrait busts from the Middle East.〔(British Museum Highlights )〕
==Discovery==
The sculpture was discovered during excavations in the late 1930s carried out by the eminent British archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan at Tell Brak, north eastern Syria. It was found in the so-called ''Eye Temple'', where a large number of offerings to the gods had accumulated over time. The temple, built around 3500–3300 BC, was named for the hundreds of small alabaster ''eye idol'' figurines, which were incorporated into the mortar with which the mud-brick temple was constructed. Many of the more important idols had been robbed in antiquity, but this stone head was uncovered inside a tunnel underneath the remains of earlier temples, that had been used by robbers in ancient times.
