Despite the Acropolis been mentioned as the findspot of the bust (cf. also the bust {https://achaeanwomen.eie.gr/γλυπτό/?statue_id=517}), the fact that it was stored in the Asklepieion, where it was documented by H. Jucker, probably indicates that the sanctuary is the findspot of the piece (Jucker 1961, 100; for the sanctuary see in brief E. Greco ed., Topografia di Atene I, Atene-Paestum 2010, no. 1.31, 180-183 [M. Saporiti] with bibliography). It is well-known that on the Acropolis were also stored antiquities found lower in the city of Athens (esp. during the 19th c.), while, furthermore, in the past the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Acropolis had in its jurisdiction the whole city of Athens (cf. the unfinished portrait-heads Acropolis Museum inv. 2168 and 2336, the fragment of a portrait head from probably a funerary monument Acropolis Museum inv. 7003, as well as the portrait head Acropolis Museum inv. 13147 stored in the northern tower of the so-called “Beulé Gate”, but found lower in the city, G. Dontas, Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani. Greece I.1 Les portraits attiques au Musée de l'Acropole, Athènes 2004, cat. nos. 31, 34, 75 and 78 respectively; see also ibid. 16-18; in the old Acropolis Museum was also stored the female bust {https://achaeanwomen.eie.gr/γλυπτό/?statue_id=517}).

The bust does not follow a specific statuary type (himation-clad woman).
