Female Terracotta Head
Hellenistic or Early Roman
This terracotta woman's head once belonged to a full-length figurine. The hair is pulled back in a bun high on the head; parts and sections are visible in the hairstyle, and snail-like curls, or perhaps a diadem with attached decorations, frame the face. The face is molded, with eyelids, nose, and mouth visible. The head is broken at the neck. Traces of white slip and bown paint are visible on face and hair, respectively.
