A little girl holding a pet in her apron.
The child wears a peplos with a long overfold and over it a sleeveless chiton that has slipped off her left shoulder. She has gathered up the front portion to carry a small animal, probably a pet puppy. Such statues of children were often dedicated as votives in sanctuaries or served as funerary monuments.
