Two Roman Period painted plaster masks are displayed in a museum exhibition, likely in London, United Kingdom. The masks are presented on light blue stands against a light blue background, possibly a shelf or wall. The mask on the left depicts a woman with a reddish-brown complexion and dark, tightly curled hair arranged in corkscrew locks. She wears what appears to be a wreath of rosebuds on her head and double hoop, beaded earrings with long chains. Small traces of a red tunic are visible at the base of her neck. The associated label identifies it as a "Painted plaster mask of a woman" from the Roman Period, about AD 100-120, with unknown provenance. The hairstyle and jewellery suggest an early 2nd-century AD date. The mask on the right portrays a bearded man with a lighter, beige complexion and light brown, curly hair and beard. His eyes are depicted as closed. The accompanying label describes it as a "Painted plaster mask of a bearded man with inlaid glass eyes" from the Roman Period, about AD 120-150, also of unknown provenance. Both labels provide details about the artifacts and are clearly legible. A partial label "Obje" is also visible at the top left. The masks are the central subjects of the exhibit, showcasing ancient funerary or artistic practices.
