Title:   Statuette Fragment: Female with Slipping Drapery
Category:   Sculpture
Description:   Fragment of lower part of statuette, which shows draped right leg from upper thigh to middle of calf and the drapery next it front and back, with the left hand holding it in place in front. Left leg and upper and lower parts or the body are broken away.
Rolls of drapery narrow from the back to the front where they fall across the thighs and overlap each other checked from dropping by the pressure of the left hand. Above the roll on the right thigh, flat close-fitting folds, below it the bent and lifted knee holds forward another group of folds.
The fragment presents an accomplished surface in excellent preservation with an effect like sculpture in paraffin or ivory soap.
