Lot Essay

This enthroned female figure is depicted wearing a long peplos belted below her breasts. A heavy himation is wrapped around her left arm and over her legs, while the right arm, now missing, would have been raised possibly holding an attribute. Given the imposing size, this is likely a cult statue of a goddess.
