Marble Head of Cybele(?) in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Marble Head of Cybele(?) in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Marble Head of Cybele (?)
Roman Imperial period

# L-123-24

This head is a poorly modeled provincial work with flattened features and staring eyes. The abundant hair flowing to either side of the forehead and face are characteristic of Magna Mater's Asia Minor images. While the crown has been deliberately trimmed down, the back appears to have been attached once to a votive relief.

Text from the U. Penn. Museum label.
