| Title: | DRAPED LEFT SHOULDER OF FEMALE(?) FIGURE | |
| Category: | Sculpture | |
| Category Code: | S | |
| Object Number: | 323 | |
| Description: | Although the tops of some folds are broken away, it is still possible to see that these surfaces were punctuated by shorter creases. The deep vertical folds of the mantle contrast with shallower ones that cut diagonally across the arm, where the fabric is not so thickly bunched. The figure appears to have bent her or his left arm, possibly holding it across the body, or s/he may have stretched it forward and down, to judge from the horizontal curved folds just at the elbow, where the fragment is broken away. Vertical mantle folds gather at the neck and descend over the shoulder and the front of the body on the left side, so the figure may have worn her mantle over both shoulders. Drilled channels articulate the edges of the deeper folds. It is likely that this personage turned slightly to her left, receding more deeply into the background on her left side. | |
| Material: | Marble | |
| Condition: | Fragment. Broken all around, this fragment preserves a draped left shoulder and arm to just above the elbow, along with portions of the background above the shoulder and to the figure’s left. | |
