The full, oval face, turned slightly to the right, features small, asymmetrical, close-set eyes with prominent eyelids and low eyebrows. The nose is straight and the soft, small mouth sits above a round, dimpled chin. Voluminous wavy curls, parted in the center, frame the face; two fine, short locks dangle from the part over the forehead, a detail that is uncommon. The rendering of the finely drawn and almost adolescent features, along with the expressive face, link this head to a type that is well documented in Taranto in the fourth century B.C.
