The present mask is probably based upon an oscillum, a type of Roman decorative object, which took the form of a theatrical mask, disc, shield or rectangular relief. Made of marble and sometimes polychromed, they feature in Pompeian wall paintings, suspended from garlands hanging within fictive colonnades. Given that oscilla are often decorated with Dionysiac imagery, it is likely that they were connected with cult ritual, while also being seen to have apotropaic properties.
