| Title: | Foot of Statue | |
| Category: | Terracotta | |
| Description: | A left foot with traces on underside of attachment to a sandal sole(?). Broken away above ankle; heel also broken away and surface abraded at many points. Shallow grooves above the great toe may mark the line of sandal cords. In the middle of the leg is a vertical round hole 12-13mm. in diam. rising at an angle which suggests that the knee was thrust forward. Careful work through out. The core is of dark buff clay containing a little dark grit. This is surfaced with very fine greenish clay, 1/2 to 2mm. thick; this layer is lightly crazed. Probably to be associated with series of fragments from terracotta statues found in the neighborhood of South Stoa I; probably akroteria on that building. Cf. Especially the leg T 3317: similar in clay, in scale, in the central hole and in the shallow surface groove. | |
| Context: | From much disturbed context between Middle and South Stoas. | |
