This head of stone is the landmark of the beautiful city of Passau. Though its origin couldn't be figured out yet, people assume that this head was part of a statue on top of the Passau cathedral, which was burned down in a town fire in 1662. The head now can be seen near the Stephandom.
Lovely tone and texture. Those lips are intriguing.
