Description

Lowest part of a handmade female figurine found on the Acropolis. It depicts schematically a female figure sitting on a three-legged throne. She is dressed in a long garment decorated with red geometric motifs. The whole surface is covered in white slip.

The figurine was a dedication at one of the Acropolis shrines and is probably one of the worshipped deities on the hill.
