The figure is preserved almost complete, with the exception of the head (the neck with the tenon is still fastened within the insertion cavity) and the inset left forearm. The inset right arm – preserved to the middle of the forearm – has been reattached to the figure (the join at the middle of the biscep was reinforced by a pi-shaped metal cramp, the cavity for which is still visible on the marble surface). The figure is depicted standing, frontal, resting on the left leg, while the right is bent and placed sideways and slightly backwards. She wears a sleeved chiton and a peronatris, both bound high, immediately below the breasts (the belt is visible on the right and partly on the front of the figure, left uncovered by the himation), a himation that covers most of the body, except for the right part of the chest, and sandals. At the front part of the figure, the himation forms a diagonal cylindrical mass from approximately the height of the right armpit to the left shoulder, from where it continues to the back, while its edge falls on the left arm bent at the elbow and extended forward. Given the findspot and the fact that the figure wears sandals instead of the characteristic female closed leather shoes (calcei muliebres), its identification as a portrait is not certain (“dubium”).
