Published Egyptian Ptolemaic Female Head, ex Lily Place

Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Ptolemaic to early Roman Period, ca. 2nd to 1st century BCE. A mold-formed terracotta female from a larger figure, perhaps a worshipper of Aphrodite, bearing ample remains of white, pink, and blue pigment. The vibrant decorations are indicative of just how elaborate the whole figure would have appeared, and the finer details exposed beneath the colors are nearly as sharp as in antiquity. Size: 1.2" L x 2.25" W x 3.125" H (3 cm x 5.7 cm x 7.9 cm); 4.125" H (10.5 cm) on included custom stand.
