It belongs to the figurine of a woman and was unearthed during the excavations conducted on the Acropolis. The face is ovoid, the eyes big, set deeply in their sockets and the lips full. The hair is braided into plaits that are rolled up into a knot. On the right earlobe, remains of an earring are preserved. Traces of white slip and red colour are retained on the surface.
