The head is of supernatural size with the neck and the upper part of the sternum shaped into a piston for its insertion in a trunk of a statue. It has a slight turn and inclination to the left, as shown by the anatomical shape of the high neck. The face is oval and the forehead is triangular. The almond-shaped eyes, with embossed thin eyelids, were inserted from another material, as evidenced by the carefully opened ocular cavities. The eyebrows are thin, plastically marked. The long and thin nose dominates the face. The fleshy well-shaped lips are half open. The face and neck are thoroughly polished. The hair, with a parting in the middle, is carried with very dense, wavy strands on the sides and back, where they are gathered in an unformed flattened bun. A short distance above the forehead, across the partition, a deep rectangular lattice with a wedge-shaped end, was used to fasten an additional heavy object, most likely a marble veil or diadem, as shown by the careful carving of a thin band on either side of the lattice. Purple remnants in some parts of the hair are obviously a substrate of very thin sheets of gold that covered the hair, as in the hair of the head of the National Archaeological Museum no. Eur. 177 and a figurative head from Potidea, in which purple color and remnants of gold leaves are preserved.
