The oval of the face is characterized by elongated eyes, with irises and pupils incised, with a pronounced nose and sulky lips, slightly pushed forward. This is a funerary portrait, dated between the late Hadrianic period (117-138 CE) and the early Antonine period (138-192 CE), originally arranged within a burial chamber.
