| Description |
This charming woman stands, naked except for
her turban and some jewelry, with her arms
spread in an attitude of prayer. In this vulnerable
state she petitions the gods for some ancient
favor on behalf of the person who offered her as
a votive gift. The request--and its
consequences--are long forgotten, leaving only
this lovely clue to some ancient life, a small hint
about a real person now vanished.
