Abstract
There is in the Acropolis Museum at Athens a battered and mutilated fragment of the head of a woman, which has twice been published as part of the Parthenon sculptures (Pls. I. and II.). The remains of its fine surface and dark brown patina, resembling those which one finds in the Helios of the East pediment and other of the pediment figures, have, together with its high quality, allowed its claim to belong to that building to pass unquestioned. But it has no connection with the Parthenon, for its scale is too large for the metopes and too small for the pediments. It must, then, be judged and assigned to a school by other means.
