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 a sleeved chiton once decorated with painted motifs. Her black hair forms locks that cover the forehead and fall on the shoulders. A tall stephane adorns her head.

White slip and black and red colour are preserved.
