Only the right part of the chest is preserved with part of the insertion cavity for the head. The figure wears a chiton and a himation (part of the rectangular mass of drapery is preserved diagonally across the chest towards the left shoulder, covering in its way the left breast). Chipping is observed sporadically on the folds of the garments.
