A City of Melbourne initiative to help breathe new life into empty retail spaces has been hailed as one of the most successful in Australia, if not the world.

This is the Crepereia doll, once owned by a young woman called Crepereia Tryphaena.

Crepereia Tryphaena was a young Roman woman, presumably about 20 years old, whose sarcophagus was found during the excavation works started in 1889 for the foundations of the Palace of Justice and for the construction of the Umberto I bridge over the Tiber in Rome.

This extraordinary ancient Barbie doll is made of ivory, which got darkened by water. The head and torso are carved in one piece, while the limbs are designed so with movable joints. This denotes an extremely high level of craftsmanship.

The doll might have been originally dressed since - unlike its trunk - its hands, feet and head have been carved with extremely high detail. The doll's hairstyle was typical of the last decade of Anoninus Pius' Age.
