Figurine of a woman seated on a rock. It was unearthed during the Acropolis excavations. The woman wears long chiton and himation. Her right arm is bent over her bosom and the left touches the hip. The himation hem creates rich folds that fall over the rock. All over the surface are preserved traces of white slip.
