Ancient Sculptures from Jordan

The exhibition includes two humanlike figures and three double-headed busts from 6500 B.C., and three faces modeled on human skulls from 7000 B.C. The sculptures are nearly life-size and are made of lime plaster. The sculptures were found in 1974 near Amman, Jordan, and were transported to Washington, D.C. in 1985 where they were analyzed and reconstructed.
