This large-scale head of a goddess wears a long wig which has not been parted and which has smooth ends. A forceful uraeus adorns her forehead and a broad floral collar rests on her chest. The details of the physiognomy, in particular the rounded shape of the face with its full cheeks and wide straight mouth, suggest a date for the piece in the early Ramesside Period.
