Marble head of a girl from a small statue

Greek

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

Said to be from Greece

The oval face with delicately indicated features and gentle transition to the soft hair is executed in a style popular in the Hellenistic period. The head was made for insertion in a small statue. Some attribute or possibly the fixture for a veil must have been set into the square-shaped depression at the top.
