Description

  • 65
  • Drapery fragment from female costume, bunched pleat
  • 3rd c. AD?
  • Densely grained white marble (Italian) with no streaking polished to a 'soapy' surfaee.
  • Ht. 8 cm max., 4 cm min.; w. 5.7 cm max., 3.8 cm min.; th. from 2 to .5 cm.
  • Broken above, below, and along one side; original edge preserved on one long side. Surface polish somewhat preserved, partially encrusted.
  • Fragment of drapery in thin cloth, with scattered roughly vertical lines incised with the point or fine chisel in the ‘a penna’ style of late Roman sculpture. This fragment, a slim irregular trapezoid, is a piece of trailing or wind-blown drapery, convex in section and thickly bunched. One long edge is preserved showing the folds of cloth compacting to a very thin trailing contour. With the concavity, four to five large well-modeled folds flare from a broken upper point of connection.
  • It is possible that the fragment complements a thin break towards the left back of the Amazon’s skirt on S6, but the fragment may also come from a matching figure; it is in any case from a figure made by the same workshop.
