HERITAGE PILLS. Old woman’s head (1st century BC)

Esther Gurri,  technician-archaeologist from the Department of Archeology of the Badalona Museum, shows us a little-known piece from the Museum, despite being one of the most outstanding pieces in the permanent exhibition. It is a sculpture of a bust, of great artistic quality, of marble that has come to us a little deteriorated, in it we can see reflected the sculptural realism of Italic influence but also the Hellenism, which leads us to date the piece between 60-40 BC. This piece would be part of a funerary monument and it should be noted that this is one of the few female portraits of this period in Catalonia.
