"Object","","Agora","Head of Female Figure","","","Agora:Object:S 429 BIS","Broken off at neck; nose damaged. Woman's head bent sharply back, hair wrapped tight in handkerchief (?). Mouth partly open showing teeth; lips broken.; Probably the head of the carrying figure of S 429 (ΟΕ 18); now attached to it with plaster. Although there is no direct join, the character of the marble and the effects of weathering upon it, any less than the pose and character of the head, make the correspondence almost certain. The sketchy dressing of the top of the head strengthens the probability that the group was an akroterion; the all-over character of the weathering precludes a partly sheltered position. The unfinished look of the left side of the newly found head is due to the fact that the head of the carried figure came close beside it, so that careful working was impossible.; Parian marble.; ; ADDENDA December 1968: the head is no longer thought to belong to the body of the carrying figure of S 419.","","6 June 1936","S 429 BIS","","Agora:Image:2016.05.0628::/Agora/2016/2016.05/2016.05.0628.tif::4575::4838",""
"Object","","Agora","Torso of Athena","","","Agora:Object:S 1232","About two-thirds of body preserved; broken at bottom, and both arms missing. The right arm broken off just below the shoulder, the left ends in a smooth-cut surface just above the elbow, with a hole for attachment. Also head was made separately and set in a shallow rough-picked socket. Two deltas (Δ) scratched on, one on left shoulder, one on left breast. In socket for head, bit of metal preserved (iron rather than led?), beside pinhole for attaching head.; Standing figure, about half life-size, the left leg slightly advanced. She wears the Doric chiton belted on the outside, with the overfold hanging down further at the sides than in the center. The relatively small aegis is worn centered, with the gorgeion like a brooch between the breast. There are three concave scallops on each side in front, with pinholes for the snakes at the points, and one hole on each shoulder; two more in center of belt. Behind, the aegis falls down between shoulders with two scallops to a side, and the hair hangs in a rather flat mass down to the bottom of the aegis.; Pentelic marble.; Type very similar to statue in Venice, cf. Richter (1929), Sculpture and Sculptors of the Greeks, p. 105, fig. 323 (p. 71 and fig. 340 in Fourth Edition, 1970); note that that is less than life-size. Date in style of 440-435.
