Description: | Solid terracotta head probably from a full figure. The back of the head is damaged and the surface is now missing but the front shows an idealised male portrait with strong brown and small chin and prominent nose. The eyes are large and the lips are full and fleshy in appearance. Such features are similar to those on the portraits of Ptolemies II-III. Nile silt clay. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Early Ptolemaic Period; start=-323; end=-204 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
