 A woman, or goddess, wearing a thin, pehaps wet, shift which reveals all forms of her body is held by two attendants. She is hidden from the waist down by a cloth. There is a play of upward rising curves and overlapping planes in the use of texture and movement. The left attendant wears a Doric tunic: a Peplos. The right wears an Ionian shift, a Chiton, without the upper garment. Both are carved to show the body form from beneath. Their bare feet are on stony ground, perhaps a seashore, giving some rudimentary hint of recession and setting. Their heads and shoulders are lost due to damage. |
