Mold of the Torso and Head of a Frontal Seated Female Wearing a Polos

4th century B.C.
Front mold of a torso and head of a nude seated female wearing a polos (cylindrical crown). There is a decorative rosette beyond her right shoulder. This may be a late-generation mold of an earlier type that wore sheer garments, the detailed lines lost over time.
