The youthful, idealised face is characterised by very fine, even features. Almond-shaped eyes with heavy, slightly drooping lids. The sensuous mouth is small, the opening marked by a deep groove. The wavy hair is parted in the middle and held in place by a fillet above the forehead. The ample curls, which half cover the ears, are drawn to the back of the head where they were once tied together and from where they cascade onto the shoulders in two long strands. Rings of Venus on the neck. Front part of nose is missing. The lateral locks of hair are preserved only at their bases. At the lower back of the head, a fragment of the skullcap and the adjacent krobylos (hair knot) are broken off; part of the shoulder locks on the right side is still preserved. Slightly worn in a few areas. Scaled-down Claudian marble copy of an original from the late 2nd or early 1st century B.C.
