Sculpture Head:
Sculpture fragment from Ephesus, an ancient city in Ionia on the west coast of Asia Minor that was used by the Romans as the capitol of Asia. The city's temple of Artemis, or Diana, begun by the Greeks in 350 BCE, was one fo the seven wonders of the world. It contained sculpture by Phidias and Polycletus. This marble head was given to the Brooklyn Lyceum by Matthew C. Perry in 1834. |
