This figure most likely comes from a group depicting Artemis Venatrix, the huntress, grasping the antlers of a stag with her left hand and, with one fluid movement, reaching round with her right to take an arrow from her quiver, slung on her back, cf. L. Kahil, 'Artemis,' Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae II, Zurich, 1984, p. 646 , no. 274.
