Athens (Greece), acquired in 1868
Marble, 440-430 BC
The beautiful but unfinished head of a goddess is so similar to the "Wener-Laborde Head" (Paris, Louvre) from the western pediment of the Parthenon that it was probably made in the workshop of the pedimental sculptures. While the size indicates an image of a goddess, the hair-lace is not sufficient for a secure attribution.
