Description

  • 66
  • Drapery, fragment
  • 2nd-3rd c. AD
  • White marble, large-grained.
  • L. 10.5 cm max and 4.5 cm min., w. ca 8.2 x 10 cm.
  • The triangular fragment is broken on all three sides, and at the back. Heavily weathered and encrusted, with a large rust-stain.
  • A fragment of trailing drapery, broken across a catenary pattern of flaring folds which splayi across a shallow convexity. The fragment preserves one thick flattened pleat at front, raised from a smooth convex portion; beside this, separated by a drilled channel, are a thinner tubular fold, and a grooved channel of similar depth and width between that fold and a similar one.
  • The fragment most resembles an element of a female figure’s trailing. drapery. It cannot be determined if this belonged to a portrait or to a divine or mythological figure, and the original scale (life-sized or under-life-sized) is unclear.
