Naples, National Archaeological Museum
(Napoli, Museo archeologico nazionale).

This somewhat cold, but skilfully executed figure is probably an Aphrodite, as the myrtle in her hand and her slightly sensual attitude seem to indicate. Comparisons with other sculptures date it to the Julio-Claudian period.
