| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | S 2479 | | Title: | | LOWER PORTION OF PARTLY DRAPED MALE FIGURE | | Category: | | Sculpture | | Category Code: | | S | | Object Number: | | 2479 | | Related Objects: | | S 2414 | | Description: | | Two fragements preserve the lower part of a draped male figure from just above the genitals, which are now broken away, to just above the knee on the right leg, and to just below it on the left. Along the right side of the figure, small traces of the relief background remain. This figure rests his weight on his right leg and flexes his left. Thick mantle folds curve below the genitals, and begin to rise again on his left side, as if the garment was held up or was draped over the left arm. Further down on the right leg, several courses of deep folds cut diagonally across the body, rising to the left. The fabric stretches over the bent left leg, contouring the knee. On the outside of the left leg, vertical folds, their tops broken away, reflect the vertical draping of the mantle ends on that side of the body. Diagonal folds cut across the lower front of the garment. | | Condition: | | Fragment. Two joining fragments, broken all around. | | Bibliography: | | Ridgway 1981, p. 437; Ajootian 2014, Hesperia 83.2, cat. 7 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Ajootian, Hesperia 83:2, 2014
