II. oi lid 0.105, of the urn 0.29, L. of lid 0.55, of urn 0.50, width of
lid 0.37, of urn 0.42. Lid and urn apparently do not belong together.
The Ammon mask on the right has lost its nose. Acquired together
with No. 803 and presumably also from the Villa Pacca and from
Ostia.

On three sides of the urn, Ammon masks and comedy masks
with laurel garlands. The back rough. The tablet has the
inscription:
Q · VIBI ■ ΡΑΝΤΑ
GATHI. ET · IVN
AE · M . F · RVFINAE

Judging from the style of the Ammon masks the urn may be
dated to the 2nd century A. D.
