Statue of a Seated Cybele with the Portrait Head of her Priestess (statue; Unknown Roman (Roman Artist); about 50; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 57.AA.19)

Note: The face of this statue depicts an older Roman matron, not an idealized goddess. Wealthy Roman women would frequently commission portraits of themselves depicted as if they were goddesses. Cybele is an unusual choice, however, which may indicate that this woman was a priestess in the goddess's service.
