English, translated from the French record

Hollow-moulded terracotta bust fragment, left side, with the left arm bent and the hand missing; pink fabric with cream slip, back preserved, back convex, join broken with finger marks, trace of a vent hole at mid-back. H. 9.7 cm, l. 5.3 cm. The left arm is bent forward at a right angle with the forearm rising slightly; the himation is marked by a mid-length sleeve wrapping the elbow in a broad curve underneath to the wrist, with a thick border, and a bracelet at the wrist; an oblique fold from shoulder to wrist probably belongs to the tunic (armhole?). Inventory Tc_1148; 12 September 1968.
