Unknown1st century A.D.

The J. Paul Getty Museum

The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

The statue is missing her head, right hand and the little finger of her left hand. A worked area on the back of her right shoulder indicates that she once had a quiver, and a pin for its attachment is still in place. She wears a peplos belted high beneath the breasts, over a long himation and sandals. The goddess stands with her weight on her left leg, and rests her left hand on her hip.

Roman reduced copy after a Classical Greek original.
