Inlay for the left eye of an anthropoid coffin or statue

Inlay for the left eye of an anthropoid coffin or a statue. The eye outline is in bronze, elongated by a cosmetic line, which is partially broken. The sclera is made of a white inlay, while the pupil consists of a black insert, possibly glass paste or stone. Traces of plaster are present in the inner corner of the eye. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
