The head of an archaic marble statue was removed from the wall of a private house on Siphnos in 1936, during the excavations of J.K. Brock and G. Mackworth Young. It was placed in the local museum. It is argued that the modelling of the head dates it to the middle of the sixth century BC. The hair shows that it comes from a sphinx, probably one of the earliest examples of the type, of Cycladic origin, and it has the head turned to one side. It probably comes from the acroterion of a temple.
