Figurine of a woman unearthed during the excavations conducted on the Acropolis. The figure is depicted frontally, standing, with her left leg projecting. She is draped in a chiton and himation that covers her arms. The right arm is bent in front of her bosom and the left hand on her thigh keeps the himation in place. Preserved are traces of white slip.
