Bibliography

Upper part of a seated female figurine probably found to the northeast of the Propylaia. The body is handmade whereas the head mouldmade. The figure has her hands on her knees, a necklace and a rayed stephane on the head. The whole figurine is covered in white slip whereas red and yellowish paint are used for the garment and jewellery details.

The figurine was dedicated at one of the Acropolis' sanctuaries and depicts possibly one of the worshipped deities on the hill.
