Standing actor

Almost complete figurine with some repairs. Signs of burning at bottom. A standing actor, fully dressed. He wears a mask with a wreath, short, curly hair, and fully open mouth. Dionysiac? A long, straight tunic obscures the body, while a heavy mantle draped around the shoulders and back provides a dramatic frame. The right arm is bent at the elbow and brought up to the mouth; left arm, now missing, likely projected forward. He stands on a hight plinth or platform. Modeling is stiff, yet pose, as if speaking, is dynamic nonetheless. Would have been painted originally. Significant traces of white ground extant. Hollow with open bottom; heavy. Mold-made in a bivalve mold, likely plaster. Arms cast separately and later attached. Linear treatment of features, incised detailing, and general frontality, suggest a later Imperial date. Light red-orange clay, micaceous; perhaps western Anatolian.
