    Tanım

    The head, tilted slightly upward and to her l., is crowned by a wreath of leaves tied back with a bow. The hair has a central part which continues all the way to the back. Waves at both sides reveal ear lobes. Pupils and irises are not indicated but ridges for lids surround the eyes. The upper lids are heavier than the lower, thus the eyes appear to be looking upwards. Well-defined mouth turns down at corners. Cheeks and forehead are highly smoothed. The neck has a horizontal wrinkle.

    In the classical tradition are the small chin, aquiline nose, and rounded cheeks. Lack of drill work and careful use of chisel indicate a Hellenistic date, while upward-tilted head and eyes suggest Pergamene influence.

    Condition

    Fine white marble, almost translucent.

    Broken off at lower neck. Tip of nose missing. Heavily incrusted with lime at upper r. and back.
