APC Image: AK 1036: Left: Fragment of drapery from Archaic statue. Small fragment of arm of Archaic female figure found in the pit below the Parthenon drum. The marble is rather fine with a grayish tinge. The drapery, the folds of which are rendered by incised lines, was fastened over the arm with buttons, two of which are preserved. Right: Fragment of Archaic relief of coarse island marble. The left edge and the back are preserved. Of the figure only part of the aigis of Athena and a small piece of the drapery are preserved. The folds of the drapery show that the aigis did not hang down from the extended arm, but must have been arranged in the same way as on the well-known bronze double-relief of Athena from the Acropolis.
