Object card

English, translated from the French record

Fragment of a hollow-moulded bust of a standing woman, right side, without the back: breast and upper arm, with surface wear. Chamois fabric and perhaps a beige slip; H. 8 cm, l. 10.2 cm. The undergarment is visible only through a raised V-neck edge that follows the break, and slight shadows of folds, suggesting a clinging but supple tunic or chiton. Sector: area south of the rampart, Salamis; inventory Tc_0335; slide C_1582; negative 01979_06; 24 March 1967.
