Marble Head of a Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007

Marble Head of a Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007
Marble head of a woman
Roman, Imperial period, 1st century AD
Copy of a Hellenistic statue of the 3rd or 2nd century BC

Accession # 03.12.2

Coiffures with corkscrew curls were fashionable in Egypt and Cyrene during the Ptolemaic period. This head must have represented an important person, as several other copies are known today. This copy was once part of the collection of antiquities formed in Rome during the early 17th century by the Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani.
