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.

Roman Marble Portrait Head of the Athenian Playwright Menander
C. 1st century AD
Menander (c. 342/41 – c. 290 BC) was a Greek dramatist and the best-known representative of Athenian New Comedy. He wrote 108 comedies and took the prize at the Lenaia festival eight times. His record at the City Dionysia is unknown.
He was one of the most popular writers in antiquity, but his work was lost during the Middle Ages and is now known in highly fragmentary form, much of which was discovered in the 20th century. Only one play, Dyskolos, has survived almost complete.
