ROMANO-EGYPTIAN PLASTER MASK OF YOUTH
Ca. 30 BC - AD 200. A plaster mask of a youth with a slightly elongated face, well-defined cheekbones, and a gently pointed chin.

The hair is rendered in thick, textured curls covering the forehead and temples, with deep grooves accentuating volume. Mounted on a custom-made display stand.
