Penelope wears a close-fitting hood and a veil over it. The curls nestle close to the face. Above the right ear, only the broken edges of the upper phalanx of the right hand are preserved (see also Showcase No. 12). The cast shows the head with the supplements of the 19th century on the nose and the left eyebrow.
Displayed at the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke in Munich. It is a museum of classical paintings and sculpture. It shows sculptures of Greek and Roman antiquity from the 7th century BC to the 5th century AD.
