The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
This fragment represents a female head wearing a veil and ermine-trimmed hood. Traces of what must have been a halo are seen in the upper and left corners, indicating that the figure is a saint. The chinstrap veil suggests a mature woman such as Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary.
