Rare Roman Ivory Figure - Youthful Seated Male

Romano-Egyptian, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fabulous ivory sculpture of a youthful male figure seated in a pensive or melancholic pose, all enveloped in light blue-green glaze typically associated with Ancient Egypt. Dressed in a pleated loincloth, the portly fellow rests his head in his right hand, presenting sizable, heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose, and petite lips, all beneath a brushed-back coiffure. A lateral drill hole through the base would have allowed him to be suspended on a necklace and worn as a pendant. Size: 0.5" L x 0.7" W x 1.8" H (1.3 cm x 1.8 cm x 4.6 cm) Item # 192425
