This beautiful but fragmentary relief depicts a theatre mask. Dating to the first century CE, the provenance of this relief is unknown, but the artistry cannot be denied. The intricate curls and waves of the hair add a sense of drama to the subject. From the Getty, object number 71.AA.291#ReliefWednesday #AncientRome #History

This relief fragment shows part of a face and hair of a woman thought to be a theatre mask. The hair is wavy and pulled back but loose curls fall over the shoulder. The figure also appears to wear a garland of some kind.
