Roman Cinerary Urn with Lid in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009


Urn with Lid
Creator: Roman (Artist)
Period: 50-100
Medium: marble (Sculpture)
Accession Number: 23.180
Measurements: Diam: 10 5/8 x H: 20 1/4 x W: 14 7/8 in. (27 x 51.5 x 37.8 cm)
Geographies: Rome, Italy (Place of Origin)
The name of the deceased, Novia Clara, appears on the front of this urn. The two handles are each in the form of a mask of Zeus-Ammon, the Hellenistic version of the powerful Egyptian god Amen, whose ram-horns curl around his ears. The lid preserves the lead clamps used to secure it to the vase. (The base and the finial are restored.)
