Description
Bibliography

It belongs to the figurine of a woman and was found during the excavations conducted on the Acropolis. The face is ovoid, the eyes big with heavy lids and the lips full. The hair, braided into a plait, form a triangular mass around the face. Part of an earring is still seen on the left earlobe. Preserved are traces of white slip and red colour.
