Head of a woman, with curls at the front of her head and her hair twisted round in a tight bun at the back. This was a hairstyle very popular with ladies in Rome in Flavian times (69-96 A.D.) and shows that Roman fashionable styles came to Britain early in the Roman occupation.

The head could have been fixed on a tomb of a lady.
