This is one of the oldest figures found along the Sacred Way at Didyma and is the only one to survive with its head. The drapery is composed of simple flat lines and patterns that barely suggest the bolidy forms beneath. The fleshy, rounded face and braided hair are typical of East Greek sculpture. The missing feet were attached separately.
