The statuette was found in a shrine in a private house. Compare the vision of Proclos, who was bidden to prepare his house for Athenè, when her statue was being removed by the Christians from the Parthenon, about 430 A.D. (Marinus, _Proclos_, 30; Michaelis, p. 270.) The original, which is of Pentelic marble, is in the National Museum at Athens. Height, with plinth, 3 feet 5 inches. Found in 1880, _near the Varvakion in Athens. Athenische Mittheilungen_, VI., pls. 1, 2, p. 56; _Journ. of Hellen.

Athenè wears a helmet, ægis, and chiton with diploïdion girt round the waist; her right hand is extended in front with the palm open upwards as if to hold out the figure of Victory. In this part the statuette is unfinished, the marble underneath the right arm not having been hewn away. The left hand of the Goddess rests on her shield, which stands on its edge at her side; inside the shield is a serpent; outside are reliefs representing the battle between Greeks and Amazons, which is seen in more detail in No. 302. Among the figures, we recognise several which occur on No. 302. The figure of Pheidias (_a_, see No. 302) is near the top of the relief, and holds a stone, as described by Plutarch. Next him perhaps is Pericles (_b_) separated from the fallen Amazon (_c_), which is at the bottom of the shield, as in No. 302. The group of the Greek seizing an Amazon (_d_) is seen on the right as in No. 302. The fallen Amazon (_e_) with hands above her head is high up, on the left of the relief. In place of the group of an Amazon supporting her companion (_f_) which is in No. 302, we have here the same subject, but differently treated. The Gorgon's head is roughly indicated near the middle of the shield. From the manner in which the rest of the figure corresponds to the chryselephantine statue, it has been assumed that the rude outlines of figures in relief on the base of the statuette represent the composition of Pheidias, of which the subject was the birth of Pandora (Paus., i., xxiv., 7.) The original of this statue, which is of marble, is in the National Museum at Athens. Height 1 foot 4-3/4 inches. Found in 1859 _near the Pnyx, at Athens_.
