The Ashmolean Museum was so fortunate as to acquire at the sale of the Hope Collection, in 1917, by the generous gift of Sir Arthur Evans, the fine portrait which I have the pleasure of publishing. It is of life size. The restorations are : the lower part of the nose, the bust with the ends of the hair at the back, and the greater part of the remarkable crown or stephane of open work, which is made up of palmettes of two types, which come alternately (enough of this crown remained to make the completion in plaster safe); also the rim of the right ear. The curls of hair are arranged as ringlets, two tiers over the right temple, three over the left; the rest of the hair comes down in heavy curls, confined by a band at the back. To the crown are attached on each side three woollen fillets, of which only the beginnings remain. The marble of the head is Italian. Some of the curls are somewhat oxidized (plate VII).
