Enthroned Woman

Miletus (Turkey); from the excavation findings of 1906; marble, dating back to 540 - 520 BC. A new head was attached after it suffered damage, possibly in 494 BC when Miletus fell to the Persians. The votive statue may have been reused as a grave marker, with remnants of lead used to plug holes and secure it in place. Clamp marks on the rear indicate its later use within an antique wall.
