Statue of a female figure
From Delos. 520-515 BC.
(ΕΑΜ Γ 22)
She wears rich garments and jewellery: a fine, long, sleeved tunic, a folded, obliquely draped cloak, a large overgarment (
epiblema
) covering her back and shoulders, a coif (
kredemnon
) on the head, a necklace made of spherical beads and drop-like pendants. The long hair forms wavy tresses on the breast, once decorated with metal hair spirals.
