Hirst_GoldenHead_Ife

“Golden head (female)” from Damien Hirst’s 2017 Venice Biennale exhibition “Treasures from the Wreck of the ‘Unbelievable'”

Gold sculpture in the shape of a female head with no hair. Scarification is visible going vertically across the entire face. The sculpture is almost identical to the 15th century Ife sculpture from present-day Nigeria.
