Female terracotta figurine of a standing woman, depicted frontally. Set on a small, hollow, bottomless base, rectangular at the front and oval at the back. A large, rectangular opening at the back shows clear traces of carving in the unfired clay. The woman stands with legs slightly apart, weight on the straight right leg; left leg bent and slightly forward. Arms lowered, slightly bent at the elbows, hands holding a cloak at hip level. Head turned slightly to the left on a long neck; elongated face with very faint features. Long, combed-back hair over the shoulders. Wears a polos decorated with a horizontal red line. Garments fit snugly with plastically defined folds. Traces of red polychrome on a white ground cover the entire surface; lines highlight the garment folds and mark a necklace, and the belt tying the peplos. Damaged polychrome. 5th century BC, Greece. Height 19.6 cm., A standing carved figure viewed in profile on a plain gray background, rendered in weathered pale stone tones with patches of beige, off-white, and light brown, showing a stylized head wearing a flat-topped headdress and a long, draped form extending to a rectangular base; the surface has rough texture with areas of darker brown and hints of muted red, and the figure casts a faint reflection on the glossy gray ground.
