Abstract

The face and hair suggest a young woman. The sides of her face are asymmetrical: the right side has a shallower cheekbone and jaw. The hair is rolled back from the forehead and sides of the face in one continuous coil. The hair on the crown and back is dressed in rows radiating away from the center part. Earlobes are visible beneath the roll of hair. The lips are parted and full. The nose is straight with defined nostrils. The chin is rounded. The back of the head is not finished. The head appears to have been broken off from a wall, with the face looking downward at a 45 degree angle.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a marble sculpture of a human female's head. The figure's facial features are almost entirely rounded when viewed in profile, likely smoothed out over the passage of time and exposure to various environmental factors. Her hair has a kind of rolled or braided style across her forehead and appears to be pulled back behind her head rather than let down. 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.
