I love the subsection of marble busts/ statues that have star or some celestial ornaments in a lady’s hair. Yes two of the examples are Diana/ Artemis but for good reason Iike I’m literally obsessed.

Bust of Iphigenia by Claude Michel called Clodion (1738-1814)
There are some beautiful Greek/ greek inspired busts out there but this one has to be my favorite. (It’s probably also a benefit that I love Iphigenia too)

according to pliny, the first terracotta statue was invented by a greek potter called boutades of sikyon who made a lifesize sculpture of his daughter's boyfriend because she was so upset he had to part from her.
from one perspective, this is an adorable account of innovation inspired by the desire to soothe a loved one's pain.
from another, the first body pillow.
