Antique Greco-Roman Female Effigy Limestone Vessel (1st Century BC-1st Century AD)

Item Details

Description

This striking artifact is a limestone sculpture from the late Hellenistic to early Roman period, specifically dating between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. The piece measures 6.5x5 cm, which is equivalent to approximately 2.56x1.97 inches, exhibiting a masterfully carved visage reminiscent of female iconography of the era. The hollow nature of the sculpture suggests its use as a container, possibly for precious substances or offerings, aligning with the Greco-Roman practice of incorporating art with utility.
