Description
An account of the resource
The limestone head of a woman from Palmyra, probably originally from a funerary relief. She wears a typical headdress with a decorative band featuring a central palm motif and a lattice pattern beside it, but the headdress is additionally decorated with two draped strands of jewelry. This example includes inset black pupils. The arrangement of her hair, parted in the middle and pulled back behind the head, the almond shaped eyes, and fleshy Venus-rings across her neck are typical features of Palmyrene funerary portraiture.

Description
An account of the resource
A limestone funerary relief of a woman with a Palmyrene inscription over the left shoulder. She wears a headdress and veil with a headband decorated in a palm motif flanked by geometric shapes, a design used frequently on the funerary reliefs of Palmyra. The band headdress covers her forehead and obscures the part in her hair, but tendrils of wavy hair spill onto the figure's shoulders beneath the veil. She wears elaborate earrings and several necklace strands (or one necklace made up of different strands). Her tunic beneath her cloak is decorated, and a band of floral decoration (perhaps another piece of jewelry) is located around her upper right arm. In her left hand she grasps the end of her cloak in a loop, while she gestures with her right hand, palm in, with the thumb, pointer, and little finger extended and the two middle fingers folded down. The incised almond shaped eyes, frontal composition, and fleshy Venus-rings across her neck are often found on these reliefs. Dated to the third century CE.

A limestone funerary relief depicting a woman with a Palmyrene inscription over her left shoulder. She wears a veil and diadem decorated with floral and lattice designs found frequently on other examples, and her hair is parted in the center and wraps back around the head beneath the veil.

Her left hand extends from the cloak, whose edge is looped up and grasped between her thumb and forefinger, with the rest of her fingers likewise extended. Behind the figure is a cloth seemingly affixed to the background by a four-petaled rosette at the right corner (the left is damaged). From Palmyra, dated c.175 CE.

A limestone funerary relief of a woman with a Palmyrene inscription over the figure's left shoulder. The woman, the deceased, wears a veil over a headdress with an unusually high diadem.
