She treads lightly on the plinth below her, with only her toes touching.
Condition: Fragmentary
Condition Description: This piece is comprised of three or more rejoined fragments that constitute most of the statue below the waist (missing the lower left leg and knee), and the plinth to which it was attached (including the front of the left foot). The lower right leg is stained.
