Terracotta Figurine
   Early 3rd century BC

                              Standing clothed female figure of possibly Corinthian manufacture, wearing a himation
                              over a floor-length chiton. The himation was a rectangle of wool or linen, often drawn
                              away from one shoulder. The figure´s earrings are well preserved. Traces of white slip
                              cover most of the figure, and rusty red survives in the hair.
                              H. 20.7; W. 7.6; Th. 5.0 cm. Photo courtesy Public Information Office, Univ. of
