Abstract
A painted, mold-made terracotta statuette in the shape of a young woman, likely serving as an architectural decoration of a temple pediment. In style derived from the Archaic Greek korē (“girl”), she wears a crown (stephanē) in her curly hair, as well as a veil falling over her shoulders, an embroidered and hemmed tunic (chitōn) and a stylized pleated overgarment (himation) with an embroidered band across her chest. Her lovely face is characterized by the archaic smile as well as thin arching brows over her large almond-shaped eyes.
