      Head of athlete (?) wearing laurel wreath, 5th or 4th cent. B.C. (?). Gift of Helen Tudor Robinson.  Authenticity questionable.  Bought in Chicago, allegedly from Rhodes.  For a similar head of an athlete in the Art Museum at Princeton University with which this sculpture was once exhibited, see B. S. Ridgway et al., Greek Sculpture in the Art Museum Princeton University, Princeton, 1994, no. 35, pp. 114-116.  See D.M. Robinson, "Three Marble Heads from Anatolia," Anatolian Studies Presented to William Hepburn Buckler (1939), pgs. 260-265, who thought the two heads were sculpted by the same artist.
