NEW KINGDOM, RAMESSIDE PERIOD, 19TH-20TH DYNASTY, 1295-1069 B.C.

According to J.D. Cooney in Catalogue of Egyptian Antiquities in the British Museum: Glass, vol. II: "The most typical product of Egyptian sculpture in glass was the human head, or face, made to be fitted into a composite or acrolithic statuette" (p. 11). This particular inlay, given the banded eye and shape of the profile, fits with a Ramesside date, perhaps to the reign of Rameses II (1279-1213 B.C.).
