Head fragment

Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130

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 a headress that falls to the back before breaking off. The head shows traces of red and white paint.
