Description

A terracotta face fragment with a broad, flat top like a cap, a large eye modelled in relief with an incised lid, and a ridged nose. The lower part of the face is broken away, and the surface is pitted with small dark spots and shows a crack across the top. The piece stands on a tin with a partly visible printed label, against a pale backdrop.
