| Title: | Draped Standing Female Figure | |
| Category: | Sculpture | |
| Description: | A life-size statue, the head and right arm are missing; the upper front part of the body has been cut away; the draped left arm is preserved to the lower forearm, which was separately inserted, and part of which is preserved. This arm was fastened in by means of three peg holes and cement, which was found in place. The feet are broken away at the front (a fragment preserving toes, except the big toe, of right foot was found in 1933 in a marble dump in section Ζ, N.W. corner; repairs?). The figure is standing with the weight on the right foot, and the left knee bent, with the whole body tilted backwards in a rather insecure posture. The figure is wearing a thin Ionic chiton, which reveals the modeling of the body, and which contrasts with the denser, heavier folds of the himation. The latter is thrown over the left arm, carried across the back and caught up at the middle of the front. At this point, where the drapery is caught up, the marble has been pieced by the insertion of a block, the cutting for which is carefully finished for the reception of the carved piece, which is preserved. On the himation, around the hips and following one of the folds down the front, appears a series of holes (8) probably for the attachment of some ornament. For the style and execution of the drapery cf. the sculpture from the Temple of Asklepios at Epidauros, probably by Timotheos, Richter (1929), Sculpture and Sculptors of the Greeks, figs. 710-719 (figs. 757-766 in forth edition 1970). Pentelic marble. Cf. Hesperia 86 (2017), p. 290, n. 39. | |
