Torso of a standing female figure, wearing an under-chiton of fine
texture, and an over-chiton with diploïdion which is worn so as to
leave the left shoulder bare. The figure held a bowl in the right
hand, and a fold of the skirt in the left hand. Broken off below
the knees. The head, left arm and left hand are wanting. This figure
appears to be of _archaistic_ rather than of archaic workmanship, that
is, the artist has consciously imitated the archaic style.--_Athens._
