Marble statue of an beautiful woman 14–68 CE Roman. The Beautiful Market Woman, it probably represents an aged courtesan on her way to a festival of Dionysos, the god of wine. Her delicate sandals and the ample material in her thin, elaborately draped chiton are a far cry from the rough garb of a peasant woman. The ivy wreath on her head marks her association with Dionysos, and the basket of fruit must be dedicatory gifts to the god or simply her own provisions for a long day of celebration.
