Zaragoza, Spain

The front part reproduces a theatrical mask of one of the characters of the Classical Tragedy. The face represents a young man (or woman) with a medium length of hair, made up of two strands on each side of the face, the bangs over the forehead and a high onkos. His facial features are well drawn: open eyes, closed mouth and nose.

It retains possible traces of dark, black pigment.
It is found fragmented in the upper part of the head, the end of the onkos, and in the left part of the head, which corresponds to the two locks and part of the neck.

Figurative ornament that, placed on two imbrices, adorns the roof of a house from the Roman period.
