Agora Image: 2008.01.0021Unfinished Roman portrait of a woman, from the Library of Pantainos, ca. A.D. 170. One of the sculptor's measuring points, a tiny hole, is still visible in the middle of the chin. Most of the surface of the face has not yet been smoothed, and the ears, eyebrows and details fo the eyes are not yet finished. The head would have been set into a separately carved body.
