A facing head of a God or a bearded man from a Roman sarcophagus, depicted in high relief with an egg and dart cornice at the top. A little chipping and erosion but the face has a nice presence with virtually no loss, a powerful representation, nicely sculpted. Displays well as it has been in my library for many years. Roman circa 1st century AD. Length 23cm {9”}, height 18cm {7”}. The head is 12.1cm high and 9.5cm wide.
