| Title: | Head of Female Figure | |
| Category: | Sculpture | |
| Description: | Broken off at neck; nose damaged. Woman's head bent sharply back, hair wrapped tight in handkerchief (?). Mouth partly open showing teeth; lips broken. Probably the head of the carrying figure of S 429 (ΟΕ 18); now attached to it with plaster. Although there is no direct join, the character of the marble and the effects of weathering upon it, any less than the pose and character of the head, make the correspondence almost certain. The sketchy dressing of the top of the head strengthens the probability that the group was an akroterion; the all-over character of the weathering precludes a partly sheltered position. The unfinished look of the left side of the newly found head is due to the fact that the head of the carried figure came close beside it, so that careful working was impossible. Parian marble. ADDENDA December 1968: the head is no longer thought to belong to the body of the carrying figure of S 419. | |
