THE small female head here discussed was unearthed during the course of the excavations at Corinth in 1914. It was found embedded in dry earth which had come up originally as mud from the great drain running north from Peirene, and hence the circumstances of its discovery throw no light upon the period of the work itself.' The head is very small 2-0.14 m. from crown to break at base of neck, maximum width 0.085 m. The material is a fine-grained Pentelic marble, the crystals small, and the texture smooth and homogeneous. The work represents a girl of eighteen or thereabouts with a face of pure Greek type. The head is turned slightly to the right, and the gaze is directed downward toward a point not far distant. The hair, which is bound over the forward part of the crown by two nearly parallel fillets, is parted at the middle of the forehead and brought down in broad, simple waves across the brow (PLATE XIV). The waves extend back, however, only as far as the line of the front fillet, and behind this the hair is drawn back irregularly, as though to be gathered into a loose knot at the back of the head (PLATE XV). On each side of the face, where the hair, passing low across the temple, swells out over the ear, there rests upon the cheek a broad spiral curl. The head itself is well preserved except for the rear portion, where a close examination of the break (PLATE XV) shows that the fragment did not belong originally to a statue in the round, 11I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. B. H. Hill for valuable criticism and suggestions, and to Mr. L. D. Caskey for the many courtesies extended to me at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. 2 Complete dimensions: length of face (from parting of hair to bottom of chin) 0.074 m.; width of face 0.06 m.; height of forehead 0.02 m.; length of nose 0.025 m.; from nose to bottom of chin 0.029 m.; greatest width of the broken surface at back of head 0.075 m.
