Roman Egytian funerary mask
1st century AD; height cm 18 (7’’); A stucco female mask realistically moulded with curly hair divided in regular bands and big eyes painted in black.
In the early first century AD a new custom arose, replacing the face-mask of Egyptian-style coffins and mummy-cases either by a Roman-style individualising portrait of the deceased painted on a wooden panel or by a three-dimesional head-piece or mask. The masks were made from plaster, a mixture of sand, clay, lime and stucco.

PROVENANCE:
Ex Gorny & Mosch, 12th December 2008, lot 516.
