Marble portrait head of Antinoos ca. A.D. 130-138 Roman This head is almost certainly from a monumental statue of Antinoos. Characteristically, the head is turned slightly to the left and gazes downward, the tousled hair hanging long in the back. Worship of the deified Antinoos, the favorite of the Roman emperor Hadrian, flourished in the East, especially in his homeland, Bithynia. The cult spread through the initiatives of private associations and the benefactions of the upper classes, which sought to gain favor with the emperor. It may also have achieved widespread popularity because Antinoos was a man of the people who did not have official or imperial status yet became a god.. Marble portrait head of Antinoos. Roman. ca. A.D. 130-138. Marble. Late Hadrianic. Stone Sculpture

Head of a Young Man, 400-420, 10 in. (25.4 cm), Sandstone, Syria, 5th century, The frontal pose and simplified facial features of this head are characteristic of Roman portrait sculpture after the reign of Constantine the Great (306-337 A.D.). The focus of portraiture now shifted away from realistic depictions of outward physical features, concentrating instead on the expression of the inner, spiritual self, as represented by this young man's upturned gaze.

Small mask, possibly of a boy, with short locks combed to the front A.D. 1st-mid 2nd century Roman Period The plaster masks derive from pharaonic traditions, in which the mask served as a substitute for the head of the deceased and as a means of elevating him or her to immortal status. The derivation is often reflected in paintings and texts located on the mantle surrounding the head. Like the painted mummy portraits, the masks suggest strongly individualized appearances and affect Roman fashions in hairstyle, jewelry, and dress. They follow, however, a somewhat different pattern. For example, female masks may have coiffures that combine Roman arrangements of the upper part of the hair with long corkscrew locks that were considered typically Egyptian. Despite the seeming individuality of the masks, most faces were made in a mold. Distinguishing details were worked in the plaster with a spatula or knife. The ears were added separately, and sometimes eyes were inlaid with glass or stone.
