According to the museum information: “In the left hand she holds a dove, the goddess’s symbol, and in the right she would have a flower. She wears a Doric heavy tunic (peplos) and a short-sleeved light one (chiton). The hair is held in place above the forehead by a ribbon and drawn back into a chignon. The figure stands on a round sheet of metal that was nailed down to some other object. The upper and lower body were made separately and joined by four nails. Workshop of the north-east Peloponnese. Probably from the region of the Pindos mountains in Epirus.”
Statuette of a female figure (peplophoros), probably of the goddess Aphrodite. Bronze. 460-450 BC.
