In Hellenistic times both goddesses and idealized queens wore high diadems. This head likely belonged to a statue of Aphrodite, as it resembles other depictions of the goddess. The eye sockets are filled with a time of white limestone, much weathered; the irises and pupils were once inlaid with a different material.
