Portrait of a Hellenistic Queen Arsinoe III of Egypt (?)

Alexandria (Egypt) was donated by M. Büchner in 1976, a stunning addition to the collection, carved from marble sometime between 220 - 210 BC. While it's impossible to confirm whether this majestic head is indeed a portrait of the Ptolemaic queen, there are some intriguing connections to explore. Coin images and sculptural portraits of Arsinoe III (who ruled from 220 - 204) show a diverse range of likenesses, making it difficult to pinpoint her true likeness. Yet, one cannot deny that this object bears a striking resemblance to Arsinoe III in its narrow eyes and small mouth.
