Description
The wavy hair is typical of the fashions of the time, which sought to imitate the exaggerated undulating hairstyle of the Empress Faustina Minor (130-176 A.D.), daughter of Emperor Antoninus Pius and wife to Marcus Aurelius. For a similar portrait of a woman, or possibly the Empress herself, see C. Vermeule, Greek and Roman Sculpture in America, Los Angeles.
