English, translated from the French record

Hollow-moulded bust fragment of a standing draped woman, Classical period, from the area south of the rampart, square K VI/δ4, Salamis. Fragments of neck, breasts, shoulders, arms and hands; back more or less flat, with a projecting join compared with the line of the shoulders (?). H. 8 cm. Right-side bust fragment showing breast and shoulder (with a surface flake on the shoulder) and the back; red fabric with white-green slip mixed with pink; l. 6.5 cm. The only relief on this fragment is difficult to identify: perhaps a tunic neckline, probably rounded and edged by two parallel reliefs, or else collar straps within a neckline? Inventory Tc_1649; slide C_4434; negative 00772_05; 1 October 1968.
