Terracotta female figurine

Hellenistic period (2nd cent. B.C.)
H: 23.00 cm

The figure is standing on an elliptical base. Her weight is supported by her right leg, while her left leg is bent towards the rear. She is wearing a long chiton and a himation covering her body and hands. The right hand is resting on her loin, there probably was an object in the left hand. A bird is sitting on her right shoulder, which probably is an unclarified symbolism.
