Title: | Relief Fragment with Head of Female Figure | |
Category: | Sculpture | |
Description: | A fragment from a grave, or votive, relief. The back is rough-picked; the top edge and surface preserved. The marble has been so stained and damaged by fire that it appears gray on the finished surfaces and pinkish in the breaks. The relief is crowned by a molding consisting of three flat bands, of which the middle one projects and has two antefix-like decorations above it in relief. Below appear the head and shoulders of a female figure, the head in profile facing right, with a downward gaze. Her hair is arranged in a heavy roll round the brows and a large knot at the nape of the neck; she is wearing chiton and himation. Behind her, at the left edge of the fragment, part of the head of another figure, male, also facing to the right. Pleasing subject; undistinguished technique. Pentelic marble. Joins with S 1010 (ΙΙ 257), see photograph in database. | |
