Girl Wearing a Mantle
late 4th century BCE-1st century CE or modern (Hellenistic-Roman or modern)
This standing figure of a girl is wrapped in a himation and leans on a pillar while holding a purse; the pose is seen in terracotta figurines, but more often for boys than for girls. The statuette, pillar, and base were cast in one piece. The authenticity of this piece has been questioned.
