Fine Greco-Roman Marble Head of a Goddess, Possibly Tyche/Fortuna, ca 1st-2nd Century AD. Portrait of a goddess, her hair centrally parted and braided, with hair drawn and tied in a bun. She wears a cylindrical flat-top headdress, perhaps unfinished, or was finished in stucco and/or paint in antiquity which is now lost. The eyes, nose, and delicate smile make this marble bust wonderfully expressive.
Fine crystalline white marble. Close examination reveals expert, museum quality restoration to left check. Otherwise a wonderful bust. On a black wooden base.
Height: 9". Estimated Value $3,500 - UP
