Color:

This Roman marble portrait, the so-called Minatia Polla, is a sculpture now housed in the National Museum (Terme) in Rome (inv.1043). Found in the Tomb of L.Sulpicus Platorinus and Sulpcia Platorina in 1880, the work is dated to ca. 40 AD and is thus of the Julio-Claudian period.  Little is known about Minatia Polla, aside from her being called a beautiful young girl of 16 years of age. The name was inscribed (among many others) on the pedestal of the tomb where she was found, so the identification of this bust is not confirmed.
