Description
Bibliography

They belong to a statue smaller than life size and step on an oval plinth. The figure is clad in a long chiton the edge of which spreads over her bare feet leaving only her toes uncovered.

The fire traces on the marble surface most possibly relate to the fire destruction of the Acropolis by the Persians in 480 BC.
