SCULPTURES FROM PRIENE.

1150. 1—4. Fragments of a colossal female statue, which may be
presumed to be the one of Athene Polias, which Pausanias
mentions, in his enumeration of the temples of Ionia, as
an object of attraction in the temple of Athene at
Priene (Paus., vii., 5, 5). For the probable date of the
statue (about 150 B.C.) compare p. 146.
1. Left foot, cut off by a joint at the rise of the instep.
Along the edge of this joint the surface of the marble is
raised and roughly tooled. A hole is drilled in this
raised surface, and in the space between the great and
second toe is another hole. Two grooves in the raised
part converge on this point. Probably the foot wore the
straps of a bronze sandal, and half emerged from the long
flowing skirt of the goddess.

Breadth, 1 foot inches; length, 1 foot. Antiqs. of Ionia, IV.,
p. 31, fig. 17 ; Rayet et Thomas, pi. 15, fig. 19. For fragments
of statue, cf. Mausoleum Room Guide, Nos. P. 6-11.
