She is a feminine bust made of calcareous stone, discovered in 1897 en La Alcudia (Elche). Richly decorated, she has a tiara tight fitting with a hair band, two big wheels over the ears to gather the hair and necklaces over the bust. Some specialists consider that the hole in her back is used by a funerary urn. The bust is a funerary image probable over a wax mask. Some rests of color remains over the sculpture and she should be done by a greek native.
