Name:	Head of Knidian Demeter
Picture:
Description:	Attributed to Leochares. From the Knidian sanctuary of Demeter. London, British Museum. H. 1.47m (whole statue). The serene face of Demeter, mother-goddess of the crops and fields, turns slightly to the right. She looks calm and placid, a slight smile on her lips. Her hair is centrally parted and braided, falling over her shoulders beneath her veil which she has drawn over her head.
Date:	c. 350 B.C.
Discussion:	If Leochares is indeed the sculptor of this cult statue, then it is suggested that he undertook the work whilst also engaged on the west side of the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos. See Robertson 1981: 161, fig. 218; Stewart 1990: 191, 284; 561-2 (ills.).
