It belongs to the figurine of a woman and was unearthed during the excavations conducted on the Acropolis. The woman tilts slightly her head to the left. The face is ovoid, the eyes big with heavy lids and the lips full. The hair is drawn into a bun at the top of the head. White slip is preserved on the surface.
