She stands on one foot, one hand raised to likely hold a spear. The other hand truncated, probably to receive a separately applied shield, now missing. Complete as is, and without any apparent repairs, the goddess covered with earthen patina, with traces of white pigment at the head, and red at the base. Height: 8-3/4"; on custom stand.
