Head of a Goddess, Perhaps Demeter
Greek, probably island, marble, Hellenistic, 2nd century BCE, Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University
Head of a Goddess, Perhaps Demeter - This beautiful marble sculpture at Emory's Michael C. Carlos Museum dates to the 2nd century BCE and probably originated on a Greek island. It is the very first thing you see as you enter the main hall to the right, and for good reason, since it has to be one of their most striking pieces.
I'm glad that they allow non-flash photography in the permanent collection of the Carlos. I'm also glad that I don't have to ask the subjects whether it's OK to take their pictures.
