Figurine
This head of a woman was once believed to be part of a figure from one of the sculptured frieze panels decorating the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens. It is now recognised that the type of marble and the style of carving indicate a different origin. The current thought is that this head may be a later Roman copy from the late 1 st century BC or early 1 st century AD.
