Statue of a female seated figure at the museum of Pella
Abstract
The marble statue, n. 11 of the Museum of Pella, comes from the village Palea Pella and is of height 0,82 m.
It represents the lower part of a female figure seated on a rock. She wears a transparent ionian chiton and a mantle over her legs. The main side of the statue is its left one seen in three quarter view.
Compared with other sculptures, as with the possible Muse n. SI530 of the Museum of the Athenian Agora (H. Thompson, «Hesperia» 21, 1952, 109, pi. 28c-d) and the female statue of the Museum of Chalki I. Κωνσταντίνου» AE 1953-54 (B), 30-40, pi. I-III, the statue is dated in the last third of the 4th c. B.C.
It is probably a votive monument and it rather represents a Muse than a Nymph or Aphrodite.
