Figurine of a woman who sits on a rock. It was found during the Acropolis excavations.

She is draped in a long chiton which is girded right below her bosom. The woman leans with her left hand on the rock whereas her right one was probably stretched out. All over the surface are retained traces of white slip; remnants of red and light-blue colour can also be seen.
