    Original findspot unknown; found in the ruins of first Sardis expedition house, July 1961.
    Tanım

    The slightly aquiline, wide nose has a deeply cut nostril. The eye corner is separated from lower lid by chiseled ledge. Lower lid goes without interruption into the cheek.

    If the fragment belonged to the head of Antoninus, the wrinkle leading down from the nostril and some of the moustache might be expected to show, hence this fragment is probably from a female face. If the identification of Artemis with the head in Istanbul is correct (Cat. 252 Fig. 435), then the present piece comes from a third female colossus, in addition to Artemis and Faustina. The style seems of the 2nd C. A.D.

    Condition

    Marble; Whitmore: compares with Sardis MD quarry group B.

    Part of l. eye, nose, and cheek preserved. Broken on all sides. Due to surface break only inner part of l. nostril is preserved.
