The incrustation that covers much of this bust of Sabina, wife of the emperor Hadrian and grand-niece of the emperor Trajan, cannot conceal the extraordinary quality and almost perfect preservation of the portrait. Together with its pendant it must have been produced in the imperial workshops of Rome, possibly for the court itself. The carefully detailed hair arrangement is like that on a portrait of the empress found at Vaison in the south of France, which must have been carved soon after Hadrian's trip to Gaul in A.D. 121.
