Bronze statuette of Artemis

Period: Hellenistic

Date: 3rd–1st century B.C.

Culture: Greek

Medium: Bronze

Dimensions: h. 7 3/4 in. (19.7 cm)

This statuette shows Artemis, goddess of the hunt and hunters, removing an arrow from a quiver that would have been suspended over her right shoulder. Her left hand probably held a bow. She wears a short peplos, cinched beneath the breast bone with an overfold at the hips, and hunting boots. This traditional costume facilitates swift movement and implies a sense of athleticism, two traits commonly associated with Artemis.
