A Coptic cosmetic container and applicator. Both carved from bone, the container with a geometric pattern and the applicator with a spiral end and a rooster on an open work plinth at the top. .There is a bulge in the applicator which rests on a ledge inside the container. I suppose that this was to keep the applicator from being always in the contents. I would guess that the container was for kohl, but I am not sure. Egypt circa 4th-7th cent AD. Height of container 12cm Length of applicator 15.5cm

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.
