Only the front part of the head is preserved. The nose, chin, mouth and eyebrows are also broken off. Smaller breaks and chipping are evident on the forehead, eyes and cheeks. Incrustations are observed sporadically on the jaw, right cheek and coiffure. The head depicts a young woman with an oval face, long arched eyebrows (the texture of the individual hairs is indicated by means of engraved lines on the surface of the marble) and almond-shaped eyes with wide lids. The tear-duct, and pupil (as far as it can be discerned from the dent preserved on the surface of the left eye) are marked. The mouth is narrow, with thin lips and corners marked by two small drill-holes. The hair is divided at the center of the forehead into two equal parts, and combed in waves towards the sides, covering the ears along the way. The texture of the individual locks of hair is indicated by densely engraved parallel lines on the surface of the marble. At the temples a deep groove separates the hair from the face. As observed by I. Chioti, the coiffure draws broadly upon iconographic protypes of Faustina the younger, and her daughter, Lucilla (probably their fifth and second portrait types respectively – see K. Fittschen, Die Bildnistypen der Faustina minor und die Fecunditas Augustae, Göttingen 1982, 42-43, 51-53 [ca. 152 CE] and 70, 78-79 [ca. 166 CE]), although other portrait types, sporting the same wavy pattern around of the face, cannot be excluded (the fact that the back and most of the upper part of the head are not preserved does not allow us to say anything more definite on the subject).
