About this work

Terracotta figurines like this one were popular throughout the ancient Mediterranean. This statuette takes the shape of a woman wearing a cloak or himation that twists around her form as she pulls it toward her left shoulder. Pigment is preserved in patches of red on the fabric over her arm. The figurine is mold-made, but only the front of the figure is modeled.
