HELLENISTIC PERIOD, CIRCA 3RD CENTURY B.C.
Probably depicting Aphrodite, both from the same mold, each standing with her weight on her right leg, her left bent forward at the knee, her left hand resting on the top of a pillar, her right arm akimbo, wearing a high-belted chiton that has slipped off of her right shoulder, revealing her breast, and a himation pulled up over her head as a veil and knotted between her legs, with folds cascading below the knot and along her right side, her shod feet protruding below the hem, her wavy center-parted hair tied in a fillet, bejeweled in a pendant necklace, preserving extensive pigment over white slip, including red, pink and blue
9 in. (22.8 cm.) high (2)
