Headless Greek Statue
This now-headless marble statue of an ancient Greek woman has an uncertain history and could be either an original work from the fifth century BC or a copy made in the 17th century. Larz Anderson purchased it for the grounds of Anderson House in 1922 from the family of stonemasons who operated the Flannery Monument Company of Washington, D.C.
