Description
Artemis was goddess of the hunt, the moon, and virginity, and twin sister to Apollo. Usually accompanied by a retinue of nymphs, Artemis amused herself by hunting in the mountains. She is often represented with a quiver of arrows slung over one shoulder. Although the quiver is absent in this piece, the diagonal strap suggests that the female figure is indeed the goddess. Further, the folds and draping of her garment (peplos) are reminiscent of similar statuettes of Artemis. The scale discrepancy between head and body and the visible crack around the neck suggest that the head may be a later restoration.
