Marble head of a woman wearing diadem and veil

Marble head of a woman wearing diadem and veil. Culture: Greek. Dimensions: H.: 6 7/8 x 5 x 5 3/4 in. (17.5 x 12.7 x 14.6 cm). Date: 425-400 B.C..
The presence of both a diadem and a himation (cloak) drawn over the hair suggests that this small exquisitely carved head represents a female divinity such as Hera or Demeter.  It may have belonged to a figure that was part of a high relief or the pediment of a small building. The strong curve of the neck probably indicates that the goddess was shown as though moving to her left.
