The oval face, turned slightly to the right, has a rounded chin, understated cheekbones, small, asymmetrical, almond-shaped eyes with clearly defined eyelids, and a small nose. The low forehead is framed by hair gathered in two wavy bands and combed softly toward the back of the head, where it is arranged in horizontal, parallel waves. Two ringlets fall alongside the neck; one ear wears a disc-shaped earring, while the other earring is missing. Features such as the turn of the head and prominence of the brow, which emphasize the intensity of the gaze, reflect a Praxitelean style.
