Figurine of a seated goddess found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns. The goddess sits on a throne amply decorated with painted ornaments. Her hands schematically rendered rest on her knees. She wears chiton with red hem and himation once adorned with red and black motifs.

The polychrome throne decoration consists of short red lines and palmettes, black volutes and sections painted red against a white background.
