This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Roman times - a Pipeclay Figure discovered in a grave at Colchester, Essex, dating back to around 60 AD. Crafted with great skill and precision in the Allied region of Central Figure making, this piece is believed to represent a high-ranking Roman official buried in Colchester. The figure's expressive features and lifelike details are truly awe-inspiring. The artist has expertly captured the essence of this male individual, frozen in time as if caught mid-shout. The vibrant colors used on the clay surface add an extra layer of realism and vitality to the sculpture.

This artifact serves as a tangible link between our present world and that distant era when Rome was at its height. The significance of this find cannot be overstated; it offers us invaluable insights into the beliefs, customs, and artistic techniques prevalent during the 1st century AD. It stands as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship across centuries.
