Fragment of the left edge of a bust, with the upper arm and a swan's neck, of a goddess holding a bird; the swan's neck is in very high relief, wrapping around what is probably the tip of the left breast of the figurine. A long serpentine parotid lock descends from the shoulder in high relief, running along the upper arm, which is covered by a sleeve with closed "crevés" fastened by round buttons; a rounded neckline is faintly visible. Chamois-coloured fabric, mould-made hollow, H. 17.5 cm. Square K VI/δ4, Salamis, classical period, south of the rampart; inventory Tc_0693; 7 April 1967.
