Description |
From Motya [Mozia], Sicily. "His hairstyle is Late Archaic, but the face is distinctly Severe (eyes, lids, cheeks, chin). […] The fabric clings to the body, revealing the contours of muscled thigh, hip, and buttock. Folds are bunched together, regularly arranged ridges and channels in some passages, unevenly spaced in others. At the ankles, folds overlap in Archaic patterns." (Excerpts from Pedley, pp. 239, 241) |
