Incomplete figure in draped costume. Dimensions: H. 23 cm (9 1/16 in.); W. 9 cm (3 9/16 in.); D. 6.4 cm (2 1/2 in.). Date: 4th century B.C..This enigmatic piece has not yet been fully explained. It was probably a sculptor's model: it lacks a back pillar, no head or feet were intended, and the arms were treated in a rudimentary fashion. The artist's interest appears to have been in the garment rather than the body beneath. This may be the earliest three-dimensional version of a costume that became popular in the Ptolemaic Period. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
