Department Archive
Collection 1936 Exhibition Collection
Reference No. 1936/2/2/19/1
Level Sub-item
Dimensions 29.9 cm
Scope and Content The original description in the catalogue reads: "A male head, heroic or divine, modelled, not cast: it may be as late as the first part of the fifth century. The projection of the chin and its deep depression are unusual. The ears are conventional and, like the falling locks, reminiscent of wood carving."
