    Sold for (Inc. bp): £845

    Dressed in voluminous robes with pleating to the undergarment, the figure depicted in contrapposto position with her weight on the left leg and right leg bent at the knee, a square pillar flanking the right leg; both arms raised with the open palms facing upwards; standing on a square pedestal; hollow form. 266 grams, 22 cm

    The figure represents a woman caught in the act of offering; originally, she probably had a patera and a gift in the other hand. The statuette has a plain back as it probably was intended to be placed in a shrine inside a votive deposit. In the now empty space there could have been a name and a painted dedication.
