Besides the names he gives them, Manolo Valdés’s large bronze female heads often provide a visual clue as to who they depict.

With her headgear in the shape of a spectacular ball of thread, this could be Ariadne from Greek mythology. She gave the hero Theseus a ball of thread to help him find his way out of the labyrinth of the Minotaur.
