14.25” x 5” x 5”
Called a peplophoros, this small sculpture is inspired by Greek originals of about 470 B.C. It portrays a woman wearing a peplos, a garment that was pinned at the shoulders and belted at the waist, creating straight, heavy folds to the feet. Her raised arms imply that she may be dancing. The cobra at her feet adds interest and intrigue, possibly from a lost ceremony.
