Catalogue text

Eleusis, Archaeological Museum, inv. 5235.

Found in 1924 by K. Kourouniotis outside the sanctuary near the South Gate at Eleusis, Greece.

Small figure of running female, Hekate(?), dressed in open, ungirt peplos, with hair taken up and held by diadem. She probably formed part of a group decorating the pediment of a building.
