APC Image: AK 1025: A terracotta head of a woman. The eyes are better rendered than in earlier figurines, the mouth quite straight with a short upper lip, and the chin prominent and full. The hair is divided in the center and contained in a kirchief. The whole head was originally painted a bright pink. The under side of the neck seems to have been roughly finished; there are no certain traces of breakage; and one is tempted to believe that the head was never set on a figure at all, but was either left thus or perhaps was set on a small round base. First half of the fifth century B.C. Object Description: | | A terracotta head of a woman.
