| Notes | This inlay is of a head shown in profile facing toward the right. It is composed of a dark cobalt blue opaque glass. The idealized face is quite full and includes a double chin. The face is tilted upwards. The neck is thick. The mouth is half smiling and the eyes are delicately outlined. These features are all characteristic of the Ptolemaic Period. Additional inlays would have been fitted above the head and around the neck to create a complete figure. The back surface is very rough and unpolished. The edges are rounded. The surface has small pits created by air bubbles escaping the glass when it was cooling. There are small chips on the base of the neck and around the ears.For the latest information about this object, fragments, visit art.thewalters.org. | Dynasty: Ptolemaic | Inscriptions: | Reign: | Style: | more | less |
