Descripción
This is a marble statue from the East pediment of the Parthenon (East pediment K). The East pediment showed the miraculous birth of the goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. Many of the figures from the central scene are now fragmentary or entirely lost.
Female figure K sits on a rock, covered with a himation. She is on the point of turning around or perhaps rising and tucks her right foot in to lever herself up. She sits higher than her neighbour and wears sandals with thick soles, a chiton with sleeves and overfall, and a himation, covering her legs and back. Her chiton slips off the right shoulder. The head and both arms are missing.
