This limestone head has features that are commonly found on Greek sculptures carved about one hundred years earlier (during the Archaic period), such as almond-shaped eyes, face-framing ringlets, and a faint smile. It comes from the island of Cyprus, a major center for the exchange of goods and ideas throughout the ancient world. The sculptor may have visited Greece or otherwise known about the earlier Greek art that appears to have influenced this work.
