AN EGYPTIAN MARBLE PORTRAIT HEAD OF A MAN
LATE PTOLEMAIC PERIOD, CIRCA 1ST CENTURY B.C.
Perhaps a priest of Isis, depicting a man of middle age, the oval face with naturalistic features, including a shaven bald pate, the overhanging brow with two vertical creases above the bridge of the nose, and two horizontal creases along the forehead, the small almond-shaped eyes with thick upper and lower lids, deeply undercut in their inner canthi, with prominent cheekbones and deep angled nasolabial folds, the thin closed lips undercut below the fleshy lower lip, dimpled in the corners, the philtrum indicated, the pointed chin offset from the slightly sagging flesh behind, the back of the head roughly finished, perhaps completed in a secondary material
8¾ in. (22.2 cm.) high
