| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | S 2932 | | Title: | | PLINTH FRAGMENT WITH BARE RIGHT FOOT AND HOOF | | Category: | | Sculpture | | Category Code: | | S | | Object Number: | | 2932 | | Description: | | The resting surface of the plinth preserves all of the bare right foot (0.16 m long) set flat on the ground, perpendicular to the plinth. A smoothed band ca. 0.02 m wide outlines the foot. The resting surface and front of the plinth were finished with the point. The figure’s ankle rises to a height of ca. 0.07 m with a small area of relief ground. To the human figure’s right, the remains of a small cloven hoof (0.04 m long), at an angle with the plinth, overlaps the juncture where it meets the relief background. If the personage is female, she was nude or wore a short garment. The figure could be identified as Artemis, who wears a short costume in both Classical and later times, and is often accompanied by a deer or fawn. Or, the animal could have been a goat. | | Condition: | | Fragment.
