Gratefully built with ACNLPatternTool
Ptolemaic Period
This tiny head was molded and carved in the round, but was attached at the neck and behind the head to another surface. She wears no emblem of Ptolemaic royalty in her hair, although this is not necessarily determining. The head may have been attached to a vessel or its handle.
