The Head of Artemis, a sculpture, is a stone carving depicting a woman's head. The head is tilted slightly to the right. The woman has curly hair that frames her face and is styled with a headband. The headband features rows of small spheres on top and scroll-like designs around the forehead. Her eyes are closed. The nose is small and slightly upturned. The mouth is a thin line that curves slightly upwards. The skin has a textured appearance with visible pores and fine lines. The background is solid black.
