Head of a Woman Holding a Sistrum

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman's head, tilted slightly to the right. The head is made of white marble and features short, wavy hair. The woman's facial expression is neutral, with her eyes looking to the right. A portion of her neck and shoulder are visible. Behind her head, there is a fragment of an object, possibly a musical instrument called a sistrum, which has a grid-like pattern on it. The background of the image is a dark gray color. The overall style of the sculpture appears to be ancient Greek.
