Only the upper part of the figure is visible from the neck to approximately the thighs. The head, right forearm and left hand are missing. Part of the garment held by the hands at the front of the figure is broken off, while smaller breaks and chipping are also evident sporadically on the surface of the marble. The figure belongs to the so-called “Formia” statuary type (the himation is folded in a characteristic triangular shape below the breasts). The manneristic way of rendering the angular pleats of the garments finds its best parallels in the late 1st – early 2nd c. CE (cf. the portrait statue of Antonia Cleodike {Γ106} dated to the principate of Trajan, and that from Megara {Γ63}, dated to the late 1st – early 2nd c. CE [ca. 100 CE]).
