14.5 Inches High x 12 Inches Wide x 7 Inches Deep
This beautiful mask is of a female whose hair is adorned with a multi piece headpiece and draped by cloth at the back. The covering might be part of the common cloak worn in ancient Greece (called a himation) and Rome (called a palla). The mask is likely from an ancient Greek or Roman sculpture. Based on the form of the fragment, it could be from a statue or from a bas-relief such as in a funerary stele or an architectural feature. The P.P. Caproni and Brother catalogs identified it as “Niobe, so called” from the Vatican Museums, but we have not confirmed its origin. On the cast in our collection, we have left intact the seam lines created during the old moldmaking process used in the past.
