From the Getty Museum record

A female head. It has larger and rounder than its counterpart (83.AA.313.A). The eyes are set shallowly in the sockets. The neck tendons are also prominent. Small drill holes form the ears, the tear ducts, and the corners of the mouth. Her hair is braided at the front and rendered with shallow chisel marks all around the back. She also wears a diadem. The marble is a light gray, large grained stone that now has a yellowish patina.
