Lot 724
Helmeted Head in Marble. Roman, 2nd century AD. Finely worked in white crystalline marble, the figure wears a crested Attic helmet, of which the crest appears to run the length of the helmet. Couple this with the pronounced coil of wavy hair before each ear, and lack of obviously male features, and it is likely that Athena (Minerva) is represented here. Good surfaces, still showing traces of root marks. Height: 4", on walnut base.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,750.
