Terracotta statuette of a young girl

The little statuette proudly sports a traditional chiton and drape over it. She holds a flower boldly in front of her chest with her right hand, while her left hand elegantly gathers her robe. This distinctive pose is characteristic of figurative depictions of young women during Greece's archaic period (circa 700 - 500 BC). These terracottas were commonly used as votive offerings in sanctuaries or burial goods.
