English: Greek painting of woman's head from a stone of the vault of a Crimean grave. The date of the grave is fixed to the 4th century by ornaments found in it, among which was a gold coin of Alexander the Great. The representation is probably of Demeter or her priestess, her hair bound with poppies and other flowers. |
