| Description | Statuette of draped female. Standing, youthful draped female with elongated proportions and the upper body in a frontal pose with the hips twisted slightly to the right. The identity of this youthful female is open to debate because of the lack of an attribute. Kore, a Muse, Aphrodite/Venus are possibilities. The costume and/or stance seems unlikely for Diana, though the hole on the back of the shoulder may be for a quiver. (Romano 2006) |
