Marble Funeral Portrait of a Middle-Aged Man in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009
Marble Funeral Portrait of a Middle-Aged Man
AD 240
# MS-250
The back of the head is summarily carved and the scale of this portrait is less than life-size. This suggests that the piece was displayed in a shallow niche inside a communal tomb known as a columbarium (dovecote), used for housing the cremated remains of the dead.
