Roman, 1st century CE, after a Greek model from c.460 BCE, made of marble, found in the Marble Hall of the Harbour Gymnasium in Ephesus
This head belongs to the statue of an unidentified goddess; unfortunately none of the extant copies of this type - known as 'Candia' after one of the oldest examples which was discovered on Crete - have retained an attribute that would allow archaeologists to identify her. However, the large number of extant ancient copies suggests that all these statues are based on a well-known Greek model from the Classical period.
