Lower part of a statue depicting a seated goddess, perhaps Athena. It was found north of the Erechtheion in 1838.

The goddess is seated on a compact backless throne with her feet placed on a footrest. The throne’s feet end in palmettes rendered in relief and the plush cushion sticks out from the side of the seat. The armrests of the throne have drilled holes at their ends perhaps for the insertion of metal decorative elements.

The goddess is dressed in a chiton and over this a himation. Her garments flow forming heavy folds while a wider one between her legs gives the impression that the figure is divided in two equal parts. On her feet she wears sandals with high soles and painted straps.
