Terracotta figurine of a female figure, possibly Aphrodite
Roman Period
Terracotta figurine of a female figure, possibly Aphrodite. Mended by two fragments. The figure stands on a raised square base, leaning on a small column at its left. The folds of the dress can be seen at the lower body. Long, thin legs, with the right relaxed and the left one standing. Long, thin arms; the left one touches the pubic area, while the right one touches the right breast, which is vaguely shown. The figure adopts a frontal position. The face is triangular and its features are hardly discernible. Hair arranged in a bun. The back side is typical of a female body. A 0.005m round firing hole on the upper part of the back side. Worn surface with signs of burning. Reddish clay.
