Mask of a bearded male
Terracotta, 18.4 x 15.3 cm, Roman, AD 1–100
Cleveland Museum of Art
 

A bearded male face with exaggerated features characteristic of theatrical masks used in Roman drama. The figure bears heavy brows, deep-set eyes, and an open mouth, details modelled in such a manner as to remain visually clear when viewed from a distance.
