Statuette of a Woman
(Ancient Greece )
This intriguing statuette displays a blend of Greek style and Egyptian elements that reveals the foreign influences in this active, commercial region. The woman's pose and costume are Egyptian, while her facial features and hairstyle are typically Greek, indicating that the statuette was made in one of the northern East Greek cities of Asia Minor at the end of the 6th century BC.
