2,300 years old, this astonishingly life-like bronze head of Thracian king Seuthes III ~ with alabaster & glass paste eyes (so bloodshot!), copper strips for eyelashes & eyebrows, & maybe evidence of old injury to cheekbone. Found in his tomb in 2004 (Nat Mus Archaeology, Sofia)

Really interesting to see the eyes done that like. I don't think I've seen another sculpture like that.
