Title:   Arm Fragment of Female Figure from High Relief
Category:   Sculpture
Description:   A vertical sliver preserving part of right shoulder and right arm of female figure, half life-size, in high relief. Seems to have split off at line of junction with background and line of junction of arm with body.
Both lines suggest a quietly standing pose. Below the elbow the arm seems to have been cut free, and there are unsmoothed traces of a large drill cutting up and in toward the background. Ancient weathering on top of shoulder and along arm near background. Front of arm has a grayish granular surface (marble-pile weathering?). The figure wears a thin chiton, fastened at four points, which has slipped down off the shoulder.
Scale and workmanship similar to Altar of Ares figures.
Pentelic marble.
