About this work
This small head probably once belonged to a full-body statuette of a young woman, a miniature of the Archaic Greek kore statue type. She has heavily lidded eyes and wears a double-banded fillet around her hair. The face and front of the hair are damaged and weathered. A statuette such as this one was likely made as a votive gift to a goddess.
