Description
Terracotta figure of a woman dancing, twirling to her left, her left leg flung out, her head turned back over her right shoulder, her left arm (missing) perhaps extending out, her right hand muffled in her mantle and bent towards her chin, wearing three-quarter length himation over chiton, hair centrally parted and drawn back under stephane. Brown clay; white coating, rose-madder on drapery. The back and right side are fully modelled, while the front and left side are almost flat and partially built up by hand
