Antefix with Face of a Deity
Terracotta antefix with a triangular top, featuring a face of a deity in the center. The deity has a serene expression with eyes closed, and its hair styled in a crown-like fashion on top of the head, with two braided pigtails on either side. The face is framed by an archway adorned with intricate carvings. The triangular section above the face is also intricately carved with floral patterns. The entire piece rests on a flat base. The material appears to be terracotta or clay, with a reddish-brown color.
