Mended from three pieces. ; A standing male figure clad in himation and Phrygian cap and carrying pine cones and fruit. The man is nude save for the cloak, slung over his left shoulder and falling down his back. He holds the offerings in the crook of his left arm, in the fold of his garment. A hole pierced in the lowered right hand indicates the former presence of some object, possibly a staff, in that hand. The figure stands on an approximately circular base with tori above and below. At the back, a square pillar ending in a rectangular capital. Clear traces of red on the cloak. The surface of the flesh is polished.; Pentelic marble.","","","Statuette of Attis as Table Support","Agora:Object:S 344","","Object","S 344","Agora",""

At the base of the neck, a roughly picked tongue indicates that the head was inserted into a separate body.; Head, larger than life-size, perhaps of Trajan or a priest. The man has a tremendously long neck and is without beard. His hair is short and tied down by a wreath held by a bow at the neck. A deep horizontal groove across his forehead. The head was probably never finished, as at least two points have been left, one on the forehead and one below the chin.; White Pentelic marble of poor quality.","","","Portrait Head of Male Figure","Agora:Object:S 347","","Object","S 347","Agora",""

Two fragments from the drapery of the left side join, but have not yet been attached.; The woman, over life-size, stands on her left foot, with her right foot free, to the side. She is fully draped in a voluminous chiton and a himation, which falls over right knee. The other is caught in the crook of her left arm. The folds of the chiton are gathered at the waist by a cord knotted in the center of the front. ; The right arm of the woman is raised; the left hand rests on her hip, with the thumb back, out of sight, and the four fingers showing. A mark of attachment is cut on the right knee.; The marks of attachment of the right arm and the right foot are roughly cut, as is the hole for the insertion of the head. This cutting is flat at the bottom and approximately rectangular.; Pentelic marble.; Cf. S 2908 (Ω 2004).; ; Addenda 2023: The iron pin IL 2283 was originally inserted in the right arm of the statue.","","","Draped Female Figure","Agora:Object:S 378","","Object","S 378","Agora",""

The moldings at the back have been damaged and sliced away. At the center of the bottom the ends have been worn down as though by the rubbing of a rope. One piece of the lower molding on the front face has been broken away, but joins.; Originally, then, at the top of the block a molding (a half round crowned by a vertical fascia) ran around the entire four sides. At the bottom a cyma recta with a vertical face below edged front and back surfaces. At either end the surface was prepared as an anathyrisos, excluding the top molding, so that the molding must have projected over the upper surface of the adjacent, lower block, in either case. ; On the vertical fascia at the top runs the inscription: ...Κ]ΡΑΤΕΣΕΟΡΤΙΟ[Π]ΕΡΑΙΕΥΣ; On the face of the stone a quadriga is driving left into an empty space at the left of the field. The charioteer stands in the car, with a warrior behind him apparently falling out backwards, shield on left arm and helmet on head. Presumably the reins were of bronze, as no trace of them remains. ; The horses rear and prance so that all of their four heads and their legs show in varied positions. Of the picture they are the best done: the drawing of their heads and necks is still distinctly in the tradition of the best period. The chariot and its passenger, however, are in more summary style: the body and arms of the charioteer are flat and poor, the transition from front view (the head and the upper part of the breast) to side aspect (the arms and the lower part of the body) has not been realized: the left shoulder is sadly out of line.; The position of the warrior is also a difficult one: his left foot seems below the level of the floor of the car. The wheel of the charioteer overlaps the border at the bottom.; The block has been at least once reused, perhaps as a tethering stone for cattle (this would account for the hacking and for the rope marks). Originally, part of a bench or balustrade? ; From the letter forms and style the base should date from the 4th century B.C.; Pentelic marble.; cf.

The left hand rested in the lap, the right seems to have been raised (possibly holding a staff). The throne has a high curved back and no arms. Its sides, which are solid to the ground, end in the foreparts of winged lions. Cf. S 930.; Pentelic marble.; Possibly a male figure: cf.
