| Fragment of grave stele with woman's head marble ca. 400-390-BC Greece Metropolitan Museum of Art |
Marble sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art – recovered from ancient Greece and its extended dependencies. Recovered exactly when and by whom is most often undocumented and unknown. The diverse paths that brought these pieces together in New York would be interesting to trace and compare if the facts had not mostly dissolved and disappeared.

Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought
As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours ...
