Demon Mask Bead:

A Roman era (Ptolemaic perhaps), molded faience mask depicting a demonic figure, with detailed beard a very sly smile, and horns above the ears. The condition is mostly good (it was difficult to properly photograph), about 14 mm wide, 6 mm thick and 19 mm from top to bottom, the stringing hole runs horizontally through the center of the face. It is possible that this piece is related to a theatre performance.

(Too unusual to estimate value)

Faience Standing Figure:

A Mediterranean molded and tooled faience figure of a pregnant female standing with arms up and hands upon the face, with a stringing hole in the center of the back. The condition is mostly good, about 11 mm wide, 9 mm thick and 29 mm, or over one inch from top to bottom. This appears to be similar to figures shown in Lankton’s Timeline, as dating from the Roman or Parthian period.

$400 to $1,000 plus (large variables in this category)
