Similar to my expression this morning as I start work after a night of little sleep. (It’s in the British Museum and its label is as follows: “Limestone head Towcester, Northamptonshire A larger than life size sculptured head. The hair is carved into thick strands secured by a narrow band or diadem, and two curled locks descend onto the cheeks in front of the projecting ears. The intensity of expression is striking, while the exaggerated features and flatness of the face recall Roman theatre masks. The head is a fusion of native British and Roman styles. It was probably a finial from a funerary monument or enclosure alongside Watling Street outside the Roman town of Towcester (Lactodurum). Given by Sir T. Fermor Hesketh PRB 1903,11-21.1”)
That was fun
