Description

Two joining fragments possibly from a human figüre. It shows a length of what could be drapery, smoothed, with a convex curve and fringed with dentils. At one corner of the fragment, a plastic element protrudes, which resembles the heel and instep of a foot. Traces of an incised line along the underside of this foot show that there was no further extension of this element. This could, therefore, represent the sole of the foot.

Dimensions

Length: 9.5 cm. Maximum width: 6.0 cm. Length of part of foot shown: 2.6 cm. Estimated length of potential foot: 4 cm.

Context

Palatial Complex, Monumental Entrance. In burned debris above the pavement.
