English: Head of a cult statue
This slightly over-life size portrait head is made in the Antonine Dynasty period, 2nd century AD, of crystalline white marble and stems from Bithynia - Claudiopolis (Kargatepe, Bolu province). Is possibly depicts a goddess, but has no identifying attributes. The remaining paints indicate it probably was kept indoors as a cult statue. Its deeply drilled holes for the eyes probably held semi-precious stones, that were looted. Similarly a hole at the left ear indicates it has held an earring, looted too. |
