Limestone head of a male figure. It probably comes from the covering slab of a ‘drawer-like’ burial niche (loculus) inside a monumental tomb building. Its style places it in the tradition of the Palmyra workshops. Possibly from Palmyra, Syria, AD 100-150. H. 0,24 m. Gift of Loukas Benakis (ΓΕ 22854)
