Head of a maiden, probably from a sepulchral relief. She wears a closely-fitting cap, with a small flap hanging down before the ear.
There are remains of the tips of two fingers and a thumb resting on the top of the head, which make it probable that the complete figure was that of an attendant kneeling before her mistress, like the attendant who fastens the sandal of Ameinocleia (No. 620).--_Athens?_ _Elgin Coll._
