This elegant standing female grips a panel of her chiton in her left hand and holds an unidentified object in her right. Her long hair is secured by a horizontal band that runs across the forehead and hangs in long strands down her back. The chiton runs diagonally across the chest and falls in folds. The stance is formal and the figure may represent a priestess or female attendant.
