1st-2nd century AD. A bronze mount shaped like the head of a theatrical mask of Pappos, with wide grin, furrowed brow and bald head, hair shaped like a wreath with ivy leaves and clusters of berries. 38 grams, 28m (1"). Property of a Dutch gentleman; formerly in an old collection formed in the 1970s. With its exaggerated, grotesque features, this small bronze model shows the mask worn by the old man character in many comedies of the 3rd century BC and later. The masks worn in tragedies were different, with idealised features set in calm, serious, or sometimes pained expressions.
