Female Statuette with Peplum in the Vatican Museum, July 2012

Female Statuette with Peplum in the Vatican Museum, July 2012
Female Statuette with Peplum

inventory # 2010

Found at Hadrian's Villa (excavations by Giovanni Maria Cassini, 1802).

The small sculpture reproduces a kind of Greek statuary art of the 5th century BC and possibly depicts the young daughter of Demeter, Kore-Persephone. The modern restorer completed the piece with a head of Apollo derived from 4th century BC originals.

Text from the Vatican Museum label.
