Head-Stela of a Smiling Woman
The portrait represents a woman with long hair. The incised lines on the neck are either the so-called rings of Venus--indicators of female beauty--or represent a collar or necklace. Portraits depicting smiling subjects are rare and originate from Marib or the Jawf region.
