This is not Roman in my opinion but Greek Hellenistic circ 200 bc probably from a tanagra terracotta figurine . These were mold made . Hear is a complete one from my collection. Your head looks ok to me although really I have to hold it to be certain.

David regarding paintings on vases and depictions on coins we have to allow for artistic license I mean look at this profile of a woman on a Greek vase it’s abstract art at its best picasoesc in its style yet painted around 330 bc

They charged me that (£180+vat ) 12 years ago I’m surprised if it’s still the same .

Exactly the test cost almost as much as the piece itself. Surely an unglazed piece like this should be easy to see if it is real or not water test ect kyri

You won’t find much on the internet because these people Sadigh , Artemission ect actively get bad reviews removed as was the case of David’s original blog post apparently sadigh hired a company to do just that police the internet and have all bad posts removed . The best place to find out what is really going on is antiquities collectors forums. That is where the truth can be found forget about dealer websites with false comments and eBay’s ratings ect

I am suprised if HJB said this lekyphoi was apulian as far as I know black figure apulian vases don’t exist and I have collected Greek vases for over 25 years . it is attic circ 490/530 bc . When an owl skyphos is called a gluax is because the horizontal handle gives the impression of a beak it’s what most professionals call the skyphos cup with a horizontal handle they are referring to the actual shape most auctions like bonhams or Christie’s will catalog your pieces as owl skyphos but the ones with horizontal handle will be a gluax skyphos

Artemission has sold fakes in the past he is not a respected seller on most antiquities collectors forums where I am a member kyri

That is not an apulian lekyphos but a black figure attic piece and though glaux means owl in Greek this shape of skyphos is not usually labelled as a glaux skyphos that particular name is reserved for the skyphos with one handle horizontal to the other and is used to differentiate the the two types of skyphos styles kyri
