It likely depicts a goddess such as Aphrodite or Artemis, who are often shown with their hair parted in the center and pulled loosely up. The overall carving style and idealized oval face, with its dimpled chin and drilled eyes, suggest the work dates to the second half of the second century CE. The contrast between the angular brows and the softly modeled face is characteristic of sculptures from Asia Minor (present-day Turkey).
