Terracotta statue of a standing young woman wearing a chiton and a cloak on her body and a wreath made of ivy leaves on her head.
The body of the figure was made with the help of a two-part mould; the head is separately moulded. The leaves of the free-hand modelled wreath were added to the sculpture afterwards.
Found in the surroundings of the lake Nemi.
