Howling Head

The carved head depicts an expressive face of a bearded character with prominent eyes, characterized by a strong emotional impact and intense expression.
It dates back to the 16th century, a time of great artistic activity during the Renaissance, when stone sculpture was used to create highly realistic and expressive portraits and figures, often related to religious or historical themes.
Made from limestone, the head features finely carved details, especially in the protruding eyes and well-defined beard. The surface shows a rough texture and traditional carving marks, with a highly expressive  face using bold features conveying strong emotions.
