Object card for a Classical terracotta figurine of a goddess holding her breasts, from the area south of the rampart, square K VI/δ4, Salamis, Cyprus. The figurine is a fragment with the whole bust and both arms rejoined; red fabric with beige slip, hollow-moulded, with a strongly convex, smoothed back and clean joins. Its back is preserved but broken across the middle, with calcareous concretions on the surface and heavy wear; the bust resembles Sal_5234 but is cruder with fewer details, the arms folded with the hands holding the breasts from below, and only the V-neck is still visible. H. 8.8 cm; l. 11.1 cm. Inventory Tc_1461; slide C_4122; negative 00662_02; notebook page 37. 23 September 1968.
