Description:

|
Part of the 2015 "Pompeii" exhibit which featured over 220 archaeological artifacts, most from the Naples National Archaeological Museum. The exhibit was designed to immerse viewers in settings of every day life in Pompeii, complete with state-of-the-art visual effects and soundscapes. This marble ornament featuring typical masks worn by actors may have adorned a Pompeian garden. On one side, there are stock characters from comic plays: the cheeky bearded slave, the long-bearded old man and the youthful son. Two characters from tragic plays appear on the other side. Masks were used to help actors get into their roles and to enhance the sound of their voices. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.c a/)
