Miletus (Turkey); from the division of finds of the excavation, 1906; marble, 540 – 520 BC After it was damaged, perhaps in 494 BC when Miletus was sacked by the Persians, a new head was attached to the votive statue to be re-used perhaps as a grave mounting. Plug holes with remnants of lead served to attach it. Clamp traces on the rear side are from its filling into a late antique wall.
