Goddess or mortal?

Enigmatic sculpture in the Acropolis Museum

 

Who exactly is this woman? There's some uncertainty surrounding her identity but her wonderful expression makes me think she doesn’t give a hoot whether we know who she is or not. Some say she’s the goddess Artemis, but we can’t know for sure.

To keep us guessing, she goes under the alias 'Peplos Kore' in the collection of the Acropolis Museum.
