It belongs to a female figurine and was found during the excavations conducted on the Acropolis. The woman is depicted frontally, standing, with her right leg projecting. She is draped in a chiton and himation. Her right arm was possibly bent over her torso and with her left hand she would have pulled or kept in place her himation. Preserved are white slip and traces of light-blue colour.
