I need the information for my art project which is worth 60% of my final grade. I have tried google but I can't find any information about the sculpture except when it was made and what it is made from. Don't tell me to search other words, I have tried that already.

This figure of a head is more stylized

You may want to note when they were done how the style changed over the years
