"The larger than life-sized head of a woman was originally inserted into the statue of a cloaked figure.
Traces of workmanship on the back of the head and the neck are often found on Hellenistic sculpture...
...Traces of a tiara identify the sitter as a Hellenistic [presumably Ptolemaic] queen, possibly Arsinoe III Philopator, Queen of Egypt [246-204 BC]."
