Head of a Female Attendant from a Grave Naiskos, about 350 BC. Additional Info: Head of a woman broken from a grave naiskos. The right side of the head and face is carved to a greater finish and exhibits better modeling than the rest, indicating that the head was placed on the left side of the original monument. The head would have been attached to the rest of the relief on the figure's proper left. The sakkos (head covering) that the woman wears identifies her as an attendant figure, possibly a household slave.
