The Route of the Museums of Caesaraugusta
Zaragoza, Spain

The front part reproduces a theatrical mask, which reproduces the face of a young man belonging to the characters of the Classical Tragedy. His face has slightly deteriorated facial features, but its different parts, the eyes, nose and closed mouth, are well recognized. The figure is styled with a half-length hair made up of thick ringlets and an onkos. There are probably four ringlets on each side of the face, although the space of the two outer ones on each side is deteriorated.

At the back it preserves the initial vaulted section that would fit on the walls of two imbrices.
