This goddess wears a low polos (headdress) over a veil. She is dressed in the manner of an Archaic kore (statue of a young woman) of the sixth century B.C. in a fine linen chiton and a short himation (cloak) that crosses the chest at a diagonal. Her serious expression, however, is typical of later works, created in the fifth century B.C.
