Agora Object: S 2742
Inventory Number:   S 2742
Section Number:   Ν 988
Title:   Relief Fragment
Category:   Sculpture
Description:   Broken at right. Top, bottom and left sides irregularly preserved. Back originally rough-picked but smoothed from reuse. Original relief ground chipped away on edges, particularly at top.
Preserved are the silhouettes of three standing females and at right a standing male (?) with his right hand on his head. At left a rough area, perhaps a rock or another figure. Molding on the left side suggests that antae and perhaps a cornice framed the relief. The women form a compact group and wear chitons and himations, which they have pulled over their heads. The male figure is slightly larger than the females - perhaps he is Apollo and the women Muses or Nymphs. The surface is very battered.
Pentelic marble.
Context:   From circled marbles.
