Description:
From an over-lifesize statue, probably of Livia, wife of Augustus, wearing her mantle as a veil over her head, her face with serene expression, wide-set eyes with deep rounded inner corners, and smooth brow, her finely carved wavy hair bound in a fillet and swept up in a nodus or top-knot above the forehead and a braid over the crown.
