Description
A Graeco-Roman Style Marble Head of a Woman
wearing an acanthus crown.
Height 9 x width 6 1/2 x depth 9 1/2 inches.
Property from a Midwest Private Collection
Condition
Probably 19th century but not ancient. Fine condition (fragmentary); some cracks visible in the top of the head and other chips / losses as are visible in the photos. There is a crackling painted finish throughout the surface that is probably the result of someone trying to make the head look ancient. It appears to be paint that was further treated with some kind of reaction.
