The looped hair arrangement evokes that of the young god Apollo as he was represented in statues dating to the late 6th and early 5th centuries B.C. Archaizing figures were popular in the Roman (Augustan or Julio-Claudian) period, and this head, probably set on a rectangular herm shaft, would have been a suitable garden ornament.
