Object card

English, translated from the French record

Object card for a Classical terracotta head of the Great Goddess wearing a calathos, from the area south of the rampart, square K VI/δ3, Salamis. Fragment with calathos closed and pressed in with the thumb, H. 7.5 cm; the face is too damaged to make out much, apart from the small eye and the hair roll on the preserved left side, and the start of a calathos survives across its full width, with perhaps an earring visible. Very damaged; red fabric with beige slip; hollow mould-made. Head incomplete: the right side of the face is missing, and the top of the calathos. Inventory Tc_0348; 27 March 1967.
