Woman or Girl with Articulated Limbs
5th century BCE
Description
Only the torso is preserved. The torso of a woman or girl with articulated limbs, perhaps a dancer. Appears to be nude. Would have been originally painted, but only small traces of white ground and a marron pigment are extant. Solid. Mold-made body with modeled front and flat back. Would have had handmade arms and legs; shoulders and hips are pierced horizontally for their attachment.
