Head, Ptolemy III (? )

Head, Ptolemy III (?). Dimensions: H. 4.4 cm (1 3/4 in.); W. 3 cm (1 3/16 in.); D. 2 cm (13/16 in.). Reign: reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes I. Date: 246-222 B.C.. Wearing the diadem of a Ptolemaic ruler, this head is thought to represent Ptolemy III. The head is broken away from a vessel, probably a shallow cup or a bowl. These types of vessels served for libations in Greek culture, their centers adorned by a relief head (termed an emblema) of a figure from the circle of Dionysius. In Egypt, where the rulers associated themselves strongly with Dionysius, the divine emblema was often replaced by the head of Alexander or a Ptolemaic king.
