Rock-Cut Head near Smyrna: After A. Martin
A frontal face projects from a rounded rocky surround, with deeply modelled eyes, ears and brow. Waddell’s caption places the rock-cut image near Smyrna, and his footnote credits a drawing by A. Martin reproduced through Perrot. The image accompanies his speculative account of an ancient matriarch. The specific location and source drawing are retained without treating that interpretation as an established portrait identity.
