| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | S 3339 | | Title: | | LOWER PORTION OF DRAPED MALE(?) FIGURE | | Category: | | Sculpture | | Category Code: | | S | | Object Number: | | 3339 | | Description: | | The weight is on the left leg, the right drawn out to the side. Higher relief on its right side than on its left. It was not centered on the panel, with ca. 0.22–0.23 m of relief ground on its right and ca. 0.14–0.15 m to the left. Although weathered, long diagonal folds running from the figure’s upper left side to its right knee (missing at the break) can be seen. Along the figure’s left side, deeply drilled vertical folds delineate the ends of the mantle and a curved edge of fabric that folds back on itself. This piece is important because it is one of only two that preserves its original width. Its surviving edges are finished roughly with anathyrosis. Either a very precise fit with the front surface of the next block was not attempted, or a tight join was unnecessary, since an overlapping architectural frame could have concealed it. It is not possible to determine with certainty the sex of this personage. The preserved right leg on this fragment looks massive, due to the nature of the join, but proportions do not help much either. | | Condition: | | Fragment. Two joining fragments preserve the full original width of the panel. They form the lower portion of a draped figure, on its right from midthigh level to the knee, and on its left presumably to just above the ankle. | | Bibliography: | | Ajootian 2014, Hesperia 83.2, cat. 4 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Ajootian, Hesperia 83:2, 2014
