| Title: | Marble Head | |
| Category: | Sculpture | |
| Description: | Lower portion of female face. Chin, mouth, nostrils, left cheek and part of left eye preserved. The head is of a woman, life-size. The eyes are quite gone, the nose too battered for description. The lips are also worn away, and the chin, which is round and full, slightly abraded. What is left of the cheeks shows beautiful modeling, very carefully worked-out planes running smoothly into each other. Certainly a Greek piece. Pentelic marble. | |
