I am compelled to share a few.
There were several statues made of this material. I found the detail amazing (look at the braided hair) and the move to create eyes rather than a hollow cut out was revolutionary.

The Getty Villa: The Art: 1
The Getty Villa is an amazing place. Its roots started in 1954 when Getty opened a small museum next to his home in the Pacific Pallisades. He quickly ran out of room, as he began collecting antiquities from 6,500 B.C. to 400 A.D. The museum currently has over 44,000 Greek and Roman items.
