Description
Roman Empire, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A finely sculpted alabaster head of Serapis. Serapis was a Graeco-Egyptian god who first appeared around the time of Alexander the Great.

Serapis was a god created by the fusion of Egyptian and Greek culture and later adopted into Roman religion. He is a combination of the attributes of the Egyptian god Osorapis (himself a composite of Osiris and Apis) with the attributes of a number of Greek gods including Zeus, Hades, Helios, and Dionysus. Size: 2.85" H (7.2 cm)
