"Caryatid" strut from a vessel or chalice in the form of Potnia Theron
View through Harvard Museums
The angle and nature of the upper and lower break edges indicate that this fragment was the strut from a chalice. The female figure wears a simple, belted tunic, perhaps slippers, has long straight hair, and holds at her chest two lined, curling volutes that attach to her head at the top and terminate in narrow curls bneath her hands. There is a long, lined volute on either side of her body that terminates near the knee, probably to indicate wings.
