Illustration
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).
