Handmade figurine that belongs to a circular dance group. The head as well as the left arm and part of the base are broken. It was found probably in the Temple of Athena Nike during the 1935-1937 or 1939-1940 excavation campaigns. It depicts schematically a standing figure with open arms. Its body is tubular and the base flat and broad.

All over the surface traces of white slip are preserved.
