Found in 1929 "in a house situated near the north side of the temple area" (Sardis VII, 65).
Tanım

The priestess stands twisted slightly to her l., her r. foot drawn back and resting on the toes. She wears a chiton, himation, and platformed sandals, and stands on a square inscribed base.

The himation is drawn from her r. to her l. side across her body in such a way as to be pulled smooth over her r. knee and her l. thigh, where the folds of the chiton are revealed beneath. Graceful U-shaped folds fall over her l. thigh and are contrasted with the vertical folds of the chiton underneath, and with the diagonal folds of the himation elsewhere. One end of the himation was wrapped around her l. arm, which extended forward; the other end was flung over her l. shoulder. The chiton has narrow vertical folds over the chest and deeper ones near the feet, especially between the legs. There is a double-bordered round neckline.

The stance, and the drapery to some extent, are reminiscent of the Anzio maiden. A date of 41-31 B.C., a period of civil strife which would explain the inscription, has been suggested by Buckler and Robinson, and of 35-25 B.C. by Hanfmann and Polatkan.

Condition

Marble.

The head is missing, also the I. forearm below the elbow and r. arm from above the elbow. Some breaks have occurred on the surface, particularly at the breasts and lower chiton. Both ends of the base are also chipped.
