The image is a photograph of a black plaque with Hebrew text written on it. The text reads "Head of Alexander the Great (336-323 BCE) Beth Shean, 3rd-1st century BCE, marble and pigment. Alexander conquered almost the entire Ancient Near East and tried to promote cultural integration throughout his empire. This policy led to the development of Hellenic culture, which lies at the foundation of Western civilization. Alexander's personality, physical beauty, and accomplishments brought forth legends that have captivated historians and artists over the generations. His image, with its characteristic curly mane and slightly tilted head, became renowned throughout the Hellenic world. The drill holes visible in the hair of this sculpture suggest that the reddish curls were originally surrounded by a golden wreath."
