Portrait head of Marcellus
Late 1st century BC
Roman Empire
Pentelic marble
h. 21.5 cm
UEA 380Dating from around AD 1-50, this very fine, perhaps melancholy, portrait head of a young man is carved from Greek Pentelic marble. He has a Roman hairstyle and Egyptian details which place him in the tradition of Romano � Egyptian funerary portraiture of the first half of the first century AD and is similar in appearance to funerary heads in plaster from Roman Egypt.
