A GREEK MARBLE HEAD OF A GODDESS
HELLENISTIC PERIOD, CIRCA 2ND-1ST CENTURY B.C.
Over-lifesized, sculpted with a smooth spade-shaped forehead that merges with the bridge of the nose, the unarticulated eyes deeply set, with heavy upper lids, the inner canthi prominent, the brows overhanging at the outer corners, the full lips parted, revealing the upper row of teeth, the chin rounded, preserving traces of the hair once pulled over the tops of the ears; converted in the 18th century or earlier into a Madonna by the addition of center-parted wavy hair and a veil of veined brown alabaster (alabastro a tartaruga)
13 in. (33 cm.) high
