Marble portrait bust of a woman

Roman

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

This portrait of a stern Trajanic matriarch has much in common with images of Trajan’s wife, the empress Plotina. Two ancient points of attachment in the front
once held a marble addition representing the high crescent-shaped hairpiece fashionable during that period.
