Description
An account of the resource
A limestone head of a woman from Palmyra, dated c.170-230 CE, and probably originally part of a funerary relief. She wears a headdress edged with a band decorated by a central floral motif flanked by a lattice design. Her hair is pulled up and back around the edge of the band. This arrangement of hair also appears on <a href="http://wireproject.org/items/show/709#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=-1105%2C-1%2C3964%2C2484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PAL0111</a> and <a href="http://wireproject.org/items/show/711#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=-197%2C-1%2C766%2C480" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PAL0113</a>, while the decoration of the band is similar to <a href="http://wireproject.org/items/show/709#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=-1105%2C-1%2C3964%2C2484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PAL0111</a>. Despite damage to the left side of the face, the figure's incised eyebrows and almond shaped eyes are well-preserved, as well as a soft jaw and Venus rings around the neck.
