Casablanca — collection & exhibitions
What survives
Four millennia of stone, bronze and clay, shown in twelve rooms on Avenue Mohammed V. Free entry on Fridays.
01 — The object
The hand that cut it
A portrait head from the second century, carved from a single block and polished until the light slides off the cheekbone. Look at the drill work behind the ear: two passes, one rough, one finishing — the only place the sculptor let the tool show.
