1st-5th century AD. A group of eleven stucco heads, faces and busts: a pair of possible corbel stops modelled as female heads, their hair dressed in tight curls, their faces and eyes emphatically round; a second possible corbel stop modelled as the bust of a cowled, balding male figure; a fragment of a finely modelled male face with heavy brow and wide eyes under thick eyebrows giving the impression of a pensive mood; a second face modelled with wide eyes looking straight ahead; a full face with 'piecrust' detailing around the hairline; a head with hair dressed round an ushnisha and a smiling expression; a head with asymmetrical facial features, aquiline nose, hair tightly scraped back into a bun, red pigmentation surviving on the lips; a head with surviving ear detailing, pursed lips and recessed urna; a head with hair dressed elaborately in what appears to be a diadem, ringlets of hair falling to the shoulders, elongated earlobes and full lips; a head with full face, heavy eyelids and textured hair. 3 kg total, 5.5-13cm (2 1/4 - 5"). Property of a North London gentleman; acquired in London prior to 2000; previously in a 1970s collection. [11]
