Description

A marble head of a female figure, shown front-on against a plain grey backdrop. The hair is carved in rows of wavy locks framing a broad face with heavy-lidded eyes and a small closed mouth. The nose is chipped, a fine crack runs across the right cheek, and the base of the neck ends in a rough break.
