His wavy hair, held in place by a headband, still bears traces of its original red color. The girl wears a diadem of lotus blossoms and other flowers on her shoulder-length curls and a chain of tiny pomegranate-shaped beads around her neck. Despite some slight damage to the nose and a missing left hand-which, Mastrokostas believes, also held a flower-it is the most complete statue of its period ever recovered...
