Marble portrait, probably of Matidia, niece of the emperor Trajan and mother of Sabina, wife of the emperor Hadrian

Marble portrait, probably of Matidia, niece of the emperor Trajan and mother of Sabina, wife of the emperor Hadrian. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: H. 11 1/4 in. (28.6 cm). Date: A.D. 117-138. This portrait resembles those of Matidia, daughter of Marciana, elder sister of the emperor Trajan. Strands appear to be woven in a braid-like pattern through the double crescents that form the artificial hairpiece surrounding the face, but the structure is lower than on many of the official images of Matidia.
