Heads of this type have often been called "sculptor's models," and they have also variously been considered ex votos. The thick gypsum on the top and back of this head (toolmarks of the artisan's blade is evident in the gypsum) suggests that this was set into a composite statue. For a close parallel with a similarly-pitted surface, thought to depict Ptolemy II and now in the Musée Rodin, Paris, see no. 128, p. 177 in Charron, et al., La Gloire d'Alexandrie.
