Title: | Portrait Head of Female Figure | |
Category: | Sculpture | |
Description: | Complete except for chip from nose and parts of curls at neck. Life-size head made to set into a statue; the head turned slightly to the figure's right. The hair is parted in the middle and heavily waved in either side. Across the front of the head is a fillet, behind which the hair is dressed in melon waves. Small curls hand down by the ears. Pupils and irises bored and incised. Prominent file marks on the face, chisel marks on the base of the neck, and protuberances on the setting tongue suggest that the head was never quite finished, or at least never had its final working over. Pentelic marble. | |
