This pendant is carved in the shape of a standing female figure (kore), who wears a belted chiton, a veil and crown, and jewelry. With her left leg slightly advanced, she holds her skirt with both hands, pulling it slightly to the left. The presence of a crown may identify the female as a goddess. Missing are her lower right arm, lower hem and feet, and the top of the head.
