[1] A large piece of a stone rodete (wheel headgear) was found first, at a shallow depth.

These fragments were taken to the laboratory of the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Alicante, where restorer Vincent Bernabeu began with washing and identifying the bits, first the chin, then the lips, then collar and chest pieces, and many other fragments that did not fit together and were not part of the carved surface.

The delicate and painstaking task of restoration began in October 1987 and was completed in June 1988.

A scalloped headband crosses the brow and connects the rodetes, which represent hollow wheels, probably of thin metal, on each side.

Above the headband and rodetes the Lady wears a mantle with finely carved drapery details.
