Boeotian Female Figurine — This figure is wearing a *peplos* (long garment) and a *polos* (high cylindrical crown). Figurines of this class, which are reminiscent of the Archaic *korai* in monumental sculpture, were grave goods or votive offerings in sanctuaries. They possibly represent female deities or worshippers.

From a Boeotian workshop. 450-425 BCE. (Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, Victoria).
