Head of a woman with braids Greek 325 BCE Marble

"This piece may be dated by the details of the hairstyle, especially the position of the braids, which are wrapped around the head like a tiara. The deep-set, inner corners of the eyes and the angle at which the head is tilted will become common features of later Hellenistic sculpture." - Walters Art Museum
