| Description | Standing female; in peplos with overfold; aegis; corinthian helmet, lume extands down back. Right arm forward holding patera; left arm raised, held spear (lost), huge fingers. Thin profile view (Pitts). Again the proportions are wrong - the lower body is very longwith a small chest, the forearms large and long, no details on hands - they are like mittens. |
