Stucco relief panel 2nd half of 1st century A.D. Roman Draped in a heavy cloak and with an elaborate hairdo, the woman reclines with one knee raised. Her left arm rests against a low support. A pillar from which a swag of drapery hangs is visible just behind her right shoulder and another slender, fluted column stands to the left. A long, thin palm-like branch sketched lightly in the background at the upper left must have been held by another figure, who was approaching the resting woman.
