Description
Rome, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A mask depicting the upper section of a human face, quite naturalistically rendered with lifelike eyes, nose, and upper lip modeled on well-contoured facial planes. Wonderful details - note the veristic nose as well as the eyelids, irises, and pupils of those eyes. So hauntingly true-to-life, one might believe it has the ability to breathe! Size: 4" W x 3.75" H (10.2 cm x 9.5 cm)
