Item Details

Description

Greece, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 2nd century BCE. A fine head, hand-carved from white marble, depicting the haunting guise of a female goddess, perhaps Aphrodite or even the Egyptian Isis. She is presented with smooth cheeks, a rounded chin, full lips below a prominent nose, and hollow eyes which were likely inlaid with precious stones or other colorful materials. Large drilled piercings are situated around her ears, with the countenance presented beneath wide plaits of hair and a slender diadem. A fabulous and quixotic example from Hellenistic Greece! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 1.375" W x 1.875" H (3.5 cm x 4.8 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.
