Mold of a female head wearing a stephane (diadem) with her hair parted in the center and combed back in waved locks. There are no tabs or string marks on the mold's edges, suggesting it did not have a matching mold for the back of the head. There is no evidence of being re-touched, the cavity appears worn from reuse. Similar in style to monumental fourth-century types used for Aphrodite or Artemis.
