- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Parthia, ca. 200 to 100 BCE. A finely carved limestone funerary head, possibly portraying a Parthian king from Dura Europos. The head is quite large and well executed with a quixotic visage comprised of mesmerizing almond-shaped eyes - both with delineated lids, irises, and pupils, arched brows leading to a straight nose between them, a well-manicured mustache and wavy beard framing his lips, and a full head of hair with skillfully carved curls rendered in the Parthian style as seen on coins and other sculptures of the period. Size: 10.125" L x 11.125" W x 15.5" H (25.7 cm x 28.3 cm x 39.4 cm)
