Description
Bibliography

Back part of the female statue’s right foot and small part of the hem of the long chiton she was wearing. The raised heel shows that the figure was depicted in motion.

It has been suggested that this foot belongs to the statue of Athena Ακρ. 293 as well as the fragment of a left foot Ακρ. 162. However, some differences in size and the rendering of the folds constitute the association precarious.
