Description:
|
Over-life-size female statue, named after the Cesi Collection that once housed it. The head, slightly small in comparison to the body, is turned towards the right. She wears a highly belted chiton and a mantle (himation), which falls heavily over her body. The arms are both modern restorations. Debate about the identification of the figure is still open and it has alternatively been interpreted as an Amazon, a Muse (Melpomene), Persephone and Juno. A Pergamene School original, either spoils of war or, more probably, commissioned by a Roman. The work dates to the second quarter of the second century BCE.
