## Image Caption

This is a Neo-Attic relief of the so-called "kalathiskos dancer". The relief shows a dancing woman in waving robes and with a basket-like headdress (kalathiskos). Stylistically, the relief can be attributed to the so-called "Neo-Attic workshops" in [Athens](https://www.worldhistory.org/Athens/), which produced copies of classical models for the [Roman art](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Art/) market since the 1st century CE. Marble. [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) copy, 1st century CE. Acquired in Florence, [Italy](https://www.worldhistory.org/italy/), in 1892 CE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
