| Description: | Woman strides with left leg, finely modelled beneath drapery, advanced and supporting her weight. The bare right leg, shown through an opening in the garment, is bent at the knee. She wears a peplos with overfold, over which a fillet is tied at the waist. The garment makes deep folds beneath the outstretched arms, and gathered folds between the legs. The wings were carved separately and set in by means of marble tenons inserted into rectangular cuttings on back of shoulders, doweled with lead. When the lead was removed from around the tenons, which were still in place, it was found that each tenon was marked with a letter, the left wing with a gamma, the right wing with a delta, cut into back just below dowel holes. Right arm has a lead dowel at break, as if repaired in antiquity. | |
