Fayum portraits from Egypt in the 3rd Century, deriving from Greco-Roman and Coptic artistic traditions which also inspired Picasso. Sold as a pair. Created only once and unrepeated, one of a kind. Unique item, no other like this!

This hand decorated porcelain plate can be used ornamentally as a centrepiece, or as a wall decoration, thanks to the wall hanging disc on the back. For cleaning, we recommend using a microfibre cloth and a neutral or mild detergent.
