Head of a Woman
This head, like the others here, was once part of a larger statue. Each portrait is missing the inlays for the eyes, which would have enhanced the realism of the portraits. The woman's softly modeled face reflects the continuing interest in classical traditions as the Roman Empire became a Christian state.
