The arms have been cast separately and soldered on. The goddess represented cannot be identified with certainty. She makes the gesture of holding a flower in her right hand, standing in a stiff attitude, with feet close together. She wears a long chiton over which is a close-fitting garment something like a jacket, falling in rounded curves over the hips ; it is ornamented on the breast and sleeves with incised floral patterns. Her hair falls in a mass down the back, and she wears the character...istic Etruscan shoes with turned-up toes. Height 2 feet. Found in the neighbourhood of Naples ; bought 1864. Catalogue of Bronzes, No. 447. APHRO D1Te(?) {+4.7.) Plate VII. EARLY ETRUSCAN HEAD. This head of a beardless youth is a fine example of early Etruscan work, in which Greek influence is visible. It is cast solid, and part of the back is now broken away. The hair is rolled up all round the head in a thick mass, and falls in elaborate curls over the forehead. Similar heads are to be seen on the early coins of Tarentum.
