Mask of a Woman with a Large Coil of Plaited Hair , Reign of Hadrian, 117-138 AD, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, The woman´s high coiled braid recalls portraits of the Empress Sabina, The softer arrangements of the front parts of her hair most likely reflects a local adaptation, Wisps of hair that have escaped confinement are painted around her forehead, The matronly appearance of this woman is in keeping with second-century trends in all kinds of funerary portraiture, and the tendency of female masks of the time to adapt Roman-style facial features and hair more consistently has been observed, Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label
