Wood, paint and plaster; 15 x 10"

Funerary painting likely removed from a sarcophagus within the last century. Comparable masks date from c. 500 BC -
100 AD. This likely is from the latter half of that range. There are some cracks in the plaster and paint due to age, most notably near the right eye.

circa 100 AD
