Summary

edit
Description
English: The name of the deceased, Novia Clara, appears on the front of this urn (see Epigraphical Database Clauss/Slaby). The two handles are each in the form of a mask of Zeus-Ammon, the Hellenistic version of the powerful Egyptian god Amen, whose ram-horns curl around his ears. The lid preserves the lead clamps used to secure it to the vase. (The base and the finial are restored.)
The above description text is based on the museum's description.

Friederike Sinn: Stadtrömische Marmorurnen, Mainz 1987, cat. no. 411 (She suggests a slightly later date, end of 1st/beginning of 2nd century.)
