Head of a Priest

This figure depicted in the sculpture stands out due to his baldness, an unusual trait for that era. A distinct scar is visible on the right side of his forehead, suggesting he may have been a priest of Isis' cult. As the Egyptian goddess with unmatched magical powers, Isis was believed to safeguard her kingdom from foreign threats, command the forces of nature, and wield control over destiny itself. Her worshippers brought this ancient deity's cult to Rome, introducing it to a new land.
