Head from male figure

Ptolemaic Period

Not on view

In the area of Ptolemaic brick vaulted tombs in the Lower Assasif at Thebes were found many terracottas. They are only very roughly datable to this period. This head has a pointed beard and wears a large festival wreath around his cranium. The head shows traces of red and white paint.
