Hygiea
Goddess of health in Greek mythology. This head is all that remains of what must have been a beautiful marble statue made by the Greek sculptor and architectScopac. 400 BC. My copy is a stone reproduction I bought some years ago at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It is slightly smaller than the original and measures about 23 centimetres from base of neck to top of crown.
