The statuette of the goddess of the hunt (Artemis) is made of reddish-brown clay and dates from around 400-350 BC. She has raised her open right hand to her head and is holding two spears with her left hand, which are leaning against her shoulder. Her knee-length, pleated robe is belted so that the upper part is somewhat tucked in. The goddess of the hunt also wears a cloak that covers her entire left arm except for the wrist and a small part of the forearm. Her cloak reaches from her shoulder to her foot on the right side and flutters in the wind below her hand. Artemis’ boots are tied at the shaft with two ribbons, each ending in two loops. The front part of a dog can be seen next to her, looking to the left.
