When the head hair style of the portrait, which is preserved in Iznik Museum and has not been published until today, is examined, it is seen that the voluminous and short hair forelocks on the forehead form a bifurcation motif on the right part of the forehead. The ends of the hair tresses, which are combed to the left one after another from this bifurcation motif, are also wavy. This hairstyle is also unique to the period of Julio-Claudian Dynasty. The hairstyle of this dynasty, which started from 27 BC and continued until 68 AD, has been preserved up to IVth type portraits of Nero. Along with the bifurcation motif, the hair forelock, which was shaped with hair tresses that are mutually repetitive, also known as pliers mouth in the process until the Nero portraits, is one of the important stylistic characteristics in defining this dynasty period. The man head, which can be directly suggested as a dynasty due to its hairstyle, has been reduced to private due to the realistic transfer of the characteristic features of the person portrayed, and a proposal for the Claudius period has been made; because, it is known that the characteristic features of the people who were portrayed in this dynasty apart from the Claudius period were idealized and transferred. The emperor, who came to the throne at the age of 51, stayed away from idealism in his portraits to keep his bond with the public strong and to prove that he was from the public. While the hair style in Iznik piece was unique to this dynasty, the realistic transfer of the characteristic features made it possible to date the piece to the period of Claudius, one of the emperors of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. The hairstyle on the man head, dated to the Claudian period, was also designed by being influenced by the Kassel type portraits of the emperor. While short and voluminous hair forelocks form a fork motif on the right part of the forehead in the Kassel type portraits of the emperor, in the portraits of the main type, it is seen that they form in the center of the forehead. The Hellenistic influences on man head sculpted in the Kassel type and the place of which is unknown, and the quality of the sculpted marble also give clues about the place of production of the piece.
