Name:	De La Borde Head
Picture:
Description:	Possibly from the Parthenon West Pediment. Paris, private collection. H. 0.76m. Head of female deity.
Date:	c. 440-435 B.C.
Discussion:	If supposition is correct, then this head belongs on the south side of the west pediment, where a goddess is in conversation with a youthful male figure. She probably represents Kallirhoe, the spring and river of Attika, a very important figure in local mythology, and then likely to be identified with the nameless nymph of a sanctuary on the south side of the Akropolis. Her male companion would then be the river Ilissus. See Robertson 1981: 95, 97.
