Title:   Draped Female Figure
Category:   Sculpture
Description:   Missing: head (which was inserted); right arm (formerly doweled on, as was right foot, traces of the rust of the arm dowel, and the actual dowel itself in the foot are still preserved); fragment from back of right shoulder; first and second toes of left foot and the tip of the third chipped away; the first joint of the second finger (part of nail preserved); chips from the first and third fingers, and all of the little finger except the nail, of the left hand; large piece of left arm. Two fragments from the drapery of the left side join, but have not yet been attached.
The woman, over life-size, stands on her left foot, with her right foot free, to the side. She is fully draped in a voluminous chiton and a himation, which falls over right knee. The other is caught in the crook of her left arm. The folds of the chiton are gathered at the waist by a cord knotted in the center of the front.
The right arm of the woman is raised; the left hand rests on her hip, with the thumb back, out of sight, and the four fingers showing. A mark of attachment is cut on the right knee.
The marks of attachment of the right arm and the right foot are roughly cut, as is the hole for the insertion of the head. This cutting is flat at the bottom and approximately rectangular.
Pentelic marble.
Cf. S 2908 (Ω 2004).
