The head is likely that of the goddess Venus, with a slight upward turn and idealized features, while slightly worn. The shoulders and torso belong to another statue, likely that of the goddess Artemis, and could possibly date to the 1st century due to its high style.

Estate of Zena Hoffman, Los Angeles, CA, owned at least by 1970. Zena’s granddaughter remembers the piece having always been in the family’s Los Angeles home since she was a child, but it likely was owned previous to this as her mother, who is now 80, also recalls it being in the family home.
