Found in the S.E. corner of the east stoa of the Commercial Agora, immediately north of the Church of the Holy Apostles, in a level of the second half of the 3rd c. A.D.
The head is worked with a short tenon for insertion in a draped statue. ... The head is that of a young woman, slightly turned to the proper right; the widely opened eyes and the slightly parted lips give an alert expression.
