Abstract

Face of a young woman is smooth while the hair is roughly worked. A filet holds the waved and curled hair back from the forehead. Behind the filet, the hair design is indistinguishable from the shape of the head. The crown of the head has been worn down and the nose has been broken. The eyelids define the eyes. The lips are straight. The face is not symmetrical: the left side of the face is more prominent than the right side, and the left eye is higher on the face than the right.

A three-dimensional model of a white marble sculpture of a female human head with curly hair. The sculpture appears to be ancient and partially damaged, with asymmetrical and differently-sized facial features seen in some places, such as her eyes. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
