| Description: | Standing female figure in chiton and himation with upper right arm at side, bent at the elbow. Left leg appears to have been relaxed Material of the chiton falls from the shoulders and clings to the chest in shallow ribbon-like V-folds. Chiton is girded with a cord and knotted above the navel. The folds gathered above the belt become increasingly thicker and more deeply cut towards the sides of the figure. The amount of material of the kolpos is greatest at the figure's right side. The folds below the belt are shallow, clinging and ribbon-like. Slightly flatter folds radiate from the 4 preserved buttons of the right sleeve, except at the back where the material falls free from the arm in broader, more deeply cut flat folds. The remains of a himation gathered in broad, slightly rounded folds, extends diagonally from the left shoulder blade area, down to area of right hip (perhaps then draped over the missing right forearm). | |
