153.Torso of a standing female figure, wearing an under-chiton of fine texture, and an over-chiton with diploïdion which is worn so as to leave the left shoulder bare. The figure held a bowl in the right hand, and a fold of the skirt in the left hand. Broken off below the knees. The head, left arm and left hand are wanting. This figure appears to be of archaistic rather than of archaic workmanship, that is, the artist has consciously imitated the archaic style.—Athens. Presented by H. Gally Knight and N. Fazakerly, Esqs., 1818.
Marble; height, 1 foot 9 inches. Clarac, V., pl. 821a, fig. 2069a.
154.Torso of a standing female figure, wearing under-chiton of fine texture and over-chiton with a diploïdion which is worn so as to leave the left shoulder bare; the figure also has sandals. The hair falls in locks on the shoulders, and in a mass at the back. The head, arms and left shoulder are wanting.—From the smaller temple at Rhamnus. Presented by J. P. Gandy Deering, Esq.

155.Cast of a relief, representing a female figure stepping into a chariot, holding the reins in her extended hands. The figure is probably that of a goddess. It has been conjectured, but without evidence, that the relief belonged to the Pre-Persian Parthenon. The original, which is of Parian marble, is at Athens.
