This young woman, siting cross legged upon a stool, wears a 'himation' (cloak) and a chiton (tunic) draping over the breast. This was a popular style of dressing at the end of the 4th Century BC. Her right arm is brought back around the face whilst the left rests on her seat. The fragments of this sculpture can be found around the actual sculpture in the museum, these pieces indicate that the sculpture would've been placed beside a funerary monument or 'naiskos' (a small temple).
