Woman standing on low rectangular base; head slightly turned to her left; a small hole in her head might have been for some attached object; the hair is drawn to the back of her neck and she wears a so-called “thick wreath”(see R. Higgins Tanagra and the Figurines, Princeton, N.J. 1986, 123, fig. 167); round, childish face; in her left hand she holds an apple; her right arm is also bent at the elbow, but the forearm is cut off; she wears a chiton and cloak which falls over her left, restored shoulder in an odd-looking way; her feet are visible below the garment; back not modelled; large square vent in back (3.5 x 3.6). Pale brown clay; red ochre paint in hair.
