Description

Content (description)

Athena strides forward with her left leg and extends her left arm, which once held a shield, while her right arm is raised, originally on a spear. She wears a peplos which has an embroidered panel down the front of the skirt; the embroidery shows eleven two-figure scenes of combat. She also wears the aegis over her breast and tied round her waist from the back. Her hair falls in ringlets on to her shoulders from beneath a plumed helmet.
