Figurine of a seated goddess found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns. The goddess sits on a throne with her schematically rendered hands resting on her knees and her feet on a footstool. She is draped in chiton decorated with black lines and angular motifs. Her black hair forms locks that cover the forehead and fall on the shoulders. A tall stephane adorns her head

Preserved are both the white slip and some of the vivid red paint used for the throne.
