Votive Head of a Female

Frontal head of a female wearing a diadem (or fillet) and a veil. Her hair is parted and pulled back in seven large locks that sweep up and curl back over the diadem, which is partially visible at the part in her hair. Her lips are slightly parted. The proper left eye is smaller than the right, and both eyes have the irises represented in relief and the pupil indicated by a slight depression. The unarticulated back of the head may represent the veil. A projecting collar at the lower edge of the neck forms a supporting base for the votive. This piece is likely from the same mold generation as 75.AD.100.
