About the Item
The goddess is shown standing on a square plinth decorated with two dolphins and garlands. She wears a typically diaphanous chiton with her right arm raised and pulling her himation upwards, while she holds her left hand at her side clutching her garment. She appears with her wavy hair drawn back into a knot at the nape of her neck, with a winged and garlanded Eros at her left shoulder. There are two lines of graffito incised into the back.
