This extraordinary chlorite figure is most likely a representation of the
"scarred man" or Narbemann: a Near Eastern demon often represented as a
scaly man with a large, inlaid gash across his face. Although this
particular piece is smooth-skinned, the striking scar complete with ivory
inlay immediately identifies him as one of the largest and most elegant
examples of this type.
