Hearst Museum object titled Statuette (reproduction), accession number 21-208, described as Cast of a goddess, probably Artemis (Latin: Diana). From a bronze found at Olympia. The goddess wears a diadem. Her hair is knotted. Her left arm and the attribute her right hand held are missing. A nearly engraved meander pattern follows the hem of her tunic’s swallow-tail overlap. The tunic itself clings to her person, adding to the gracefulness of her figure. Her face wears an archaic smile of a less rigidly conventional character than usual. This statuette illustrates an advanced stage of primitive Greek art corresponding to the paintings we see on some of the best early red-figured vases. Compare Olympia IV Plate 7, and Friederichs-Wolters 358. Late 6th and 5th Century B.C.
