Fragment of the right side of a bust: forearm and hand, broken, without the back; l. 7.5. The arm was bent forward, the upper arm covered by a mid-length sleeve ending at the elbow (edge visible), the forearm rising towards the left breast where the hand was probably holding something (only the base of three fingers remains). Below the forearm descends a double vertical fold, probably central; this drapery was painted. Important traces of red paint. Hollow-moulded. H. 10. Surface of the hand largely torn away. Red clay. Square K V/α10, Salamis, Campanopetra; Classical; inventory Tc_0278; slide C_1320; negative 02039_04; 18 March 1967.
