The Caryatids and the Erechtheion at the Acropolis in Athens.
Sculptural details of the Erechtheion are currently being held by the British Museum—including one of the caryatid pillars—and have still yet to be returned to Greece despite repeated calls to do so.

Silver Baldacchino, 1837, by Gennaro Aveta and Gaspare De Angelis, a gift from Ferdinand II, King of the Two Sicilies to the Chapel of San Gennaro and the Duomo di Napoli. This type of portable canopy would be used to display a venerated statue or object while being carried in religious processions.

The exquisite and elegant braided hair of the Caryatids (421-406 BC).
Erechtheion / Acropolis of Athens, Greece.
NOTE:
A caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head.
The Greek term 'karyatides' literally means "maidens of Karyai," an ancient town on the Peloponnese.
