Funerary statue of a Roman lady

This sculpture is presented with the features of a respectable Roman lady: with a sophisticated hairstyle and elegantly dressed in a cloak that partially covers her head and, underneath it, a stole or peronatris; it shows certain similarities with the statue of Messalina in the Louvre Museum. The shape of the hairstyle makes it possible to date the statue to between the end of the Flavian period and the beginning of Trajan's reign. The sandals she wears suggest that she is either a posthumous representation or a funerary statue. Although there is no known Greek statue that can be considered as a model for this one, it is nevertheless very reminiscent of Greek classicism.
