Etruscan Goddess
Two views of the painted terracotta head of a goddess, usually identified as Thesan/Leucothea,* but Nancy de Grummond has suggested it represents Catha, a lunar deity.** From Temple A at Pyrgi, c. 340-330 BC.
Photographed in the Villa Giulia (Rome) in 1998 with a Ricoh R1. Scanned from the prints and edited with Photoscape.
