Object Description
A Roman, marble statue fragment, depicting the lower torso of a nude female. The fragment clearly depicts the rounded buttocks and thighs of a woman. The left thigh leans forward slightly, angling the direction of the hips and suggesting that the nude female must have been depicted standing with the weight on her right leg. This pose of standing with weight on one leg is typical of statues of classical antiquity and is known as ‘contrapposto‘. Signs of degradation consistent with age can be seen on the statue. The piece is mounted on a custom-made stand. Height indicated includes the height of the stand.
Date: Circa 1st-2nd Century AD
