Limestone Cypro-Greek II Vouni III-IV head, probably Athena (V. 210 C.M.)
Description
A weathered limestone head seen in profile, facing left, wearing a helmet with a curved ridge across the crown and a broken top edge. A spiral curl sits beside the ear, and the chin and lips are worn and chipped. The black backdrop sets off the pale stone, and the print is mounted on a card with handwritten labels below.
