My Photoshop statue restoration possibily revealing recently unseen details - Requesting information

Hi,

I am looking to get more information on the following statue, I am a graphic designer and was recently browsing the image archives of mourgefile and came across a statue that grabbed my attention, I felt that there was more to this weathered statue and was inspired to attempt to bring it back to life.

I noticed that the weathering occurred from right to left (as viewed on screen) and was caught up by the carving in the hair that looked like a face so I cut the image in half and duplicate the left side of the image, flip a duplicate and place it on the right. Once I made that connection the statue came to life and things appeared which I didn't see before, I learned the beauty and power of symmetry in that moment.

As the face in the hairline was obvious part of the original I've been puzzled with the weird elongated head in the middle of the hair line, I'm not sure If that's a part of the original or just a weird coincident.

I thought i'll post it here to see if anybody knows any more information on the statue, or has seen similar elongated heads in similar statues.
