Portrait of a Girl

myminifactory

The striking portrait sculpture depicts a young girl with a distinctively styled hairdo, neatly pulled back into a bun that sits atop her forehead. This exact hairstyle was prominently featured in early Augustan portraits, including the likeness of Octavia, sister to the revered Octavian/Augustus. It is possible that this effigy could have been carefully placed within a family tomb as a poignant reminder of loved ones who had passed away.
