While the body does not survive, we can reconstruct its general appearance since this is a Roman replication of an earlier Greek image of the goddess, likely dating to about 400 BCE. While the Greek original is not extant, many later copies are, and the best-preserved example of this type maintains both the body and the original head. Though slightly smaller, the Princeton bust is nearly identical, also exhibiting a slight inclination of the head, a plain helmet and noseguard in relief, and a loose treatment of the hair. The rolled earflaps underneath the helmet are a distinctive feature among this group of sculptures. They may depict an eastern style of cap that the goddess is wearing underneath her more typical helmet.","remarks":"MED2_22_CLA.pdf – Day One Cataloguing"}],"datebegin":45,"sortnumber":"178     y","published_date":"2026-03-05 09:05:17.635635","objectid":19138,"dimensions":"preserved: 32.4 × 19.2 × 21.3 cm (12 3/4 × 7 9/16 × 8 3/8 in.)\r\nbase: 14.1 × 15.5 × 15.4 cm (5 9/16 × 6 1/8 × 6 1/16 in.)","on_view":true}
