Title
A name given to the resource
Limestone head of a woman from a funerary relief from Syria (PAL0118)
Description
An account of the resource
The limestone head of a woman, probably originally from a funerary relief from Syria, dated to the 3rd c. CE. She wears a headdress with a thin decorated diadem. Her hair is pulled back behind the veil. She touches her right cheek with her three middle fingers of her right hand, but the rest is not preserved. The headdress and veil, almond-shaped eyes and incised eyebrows, and the overall pose and style of the sculpture is Palmyrene; however, the quality of the limestone (poor), placement of the diadem (not fully around the head), and straight hair are all unusual.
