Limestone statuette of a temple girl

Unknown

late 4th or early 3rd century BCE · Limestone · Greek and Roman Art

The head, which is that of a boy, does not belong and has been attached incorrectly to the body of a chubby little girl. She wears bracelets, as do many of the temple boys, but she lacks the usual necklace hung with amulets and charms.
