Descripción
This mask was found to the west of the Stoa of Attalos, Athens. The mask is carved in relief in a very thick slab of stone. It depicts the type of the young woman or courtesan of New Comedy as she has luxuriant hair and wears earrings. The New Comedy is the third and last period of Ancient Greek Comedy: it is comparable to situation comedy and comedy of manners. For the first time, love became a principal element in the drama. The New Comedy depicted Athenian society and the social morality of the period, presenting it in attractive colours but making no attempt to criticize or improve it.
