XXXIII, 3-4. The head, as well as several others, is explained as an "Alexander". It is however, very probably a Mithras' head, lifting his eyes towards heaven. The back of the head is finished obliquely and in the middle of it there is a small hole in which the Phrygian cap may have been fastened.
