This head of a lady possibly belonged to a double sculptural group. The female head is highly idealised; it is topped by a three-part enveloping wig marked with incised stripes recalling hair. The face is rounded and very flat if seen side-on. The eyes are small, almond shaped and with hardly any cosmetic line. The full-lipped mouth sketches a slight smile. The person accompanying the lady in this sculptural group was placed to her right and might have been her husband. There are no inscriptions to tell us the woman's name.

Esta cabeza de una dama perteneció posiblemente a un grupo escultórico doble;  La cabeza  femenina está muy idealizada, va tocada con la peluca tripartita envolvente y está marcada con rayas incisas que recuerdan el cabello. El rostro es redondeado y muy plano si se observa de perfil. Los ojos son pequeños, almendrados y sin apenas línea de cosmética. La boca, de labios gruesos, esboza una ligera sonrisa. La persona que acompañaba a la dama en este grupo escultórico estuvo situada a su derecha  y pudo tratarse  quizá de su esposo. La ausencia de inscripciones nos impide conocer el nombre de la dama.
