| Caption | Left half of a a terracotta female head, Roman, 200 BCE-200. Votive offerings were made at the temple of a healing god such as Asklepios, the Greco-Roman god of healing and medicine, in the hope of receiving a cure or as thanks for one. Made from terracotta, this shows the left side of a woman’s head. She may have been experiencing chronic headaches. Contributors: Science Museum, London. Work ID: s4tsjnk2. |
