Label TextThis standing female figure was probably a votive statuette. The sculptor has emphasized the block-like, solid, geometrical forms of the head and body to produce a solid, serene appearance. Her arms were once held horizontally. She seems to be wearing a long garment.ProvenancePurchase from Michel Dumez-Onof, 90-92 Pimlico Road, London, EnglandOn View
