23.11.31B1 Goddess facing left, wearing a tiered headdress over long, styled hair, and a long skirt marked with vertical stripes/drapes? The right arm terminates with a small crescent.
23.11.31MMM Female wearing an elaborate pronged headdress and long skirts. The right arm appears heavier, as though draped in or carrying something.
23.11.31XXXX Female wearing long skirts. The top of the figure is oddly shaped. The left arm extends down and slightly away from the side of the body, ending in a fork. The skirts are sashed at the waist, and are marked with long vertical lines ending at a wide hem with more widely spaced pairs of lines.
23.11.31ZZ Female facing right, wearing a long skirt marked with horizontal bands. The straight line of the back projects above the head. One arm is raised in front of the body, and the other is held at waist level.
34.10.23 Molded figurine (hollowed at back in a tall rectangle) depicting Leda with the swan. Leda stands with her right foot upraised (on a rick?), and holds in her upraised left arm a himation, which wraps around her back and swirls onto the top of her right leg, to cover her pudenda, right leg, and run down the interior of her left leg. She holds the swan firmly with her right hand, so that it is tucked under her right arm.
57.3.12 Head and part of body with right arm and hand of Atthis figurine, holding pan-pipes. He wears a Phrygian cap with long ear-pieces, long-sleeved tunic, and cloak.
L.2016.3.14 Female dancer, slightly turned to her left in a likewise slight step position. Her right arm slopes down, her left arm is raised and she is looking to her left hand, which is bent backwards. A hole in mentioned hand gives rise to the suspicion that she is holding an (missing) object. There is another hole at her left heel.
L.2018.4.3 Memnon stands in the rigid posture of some Archaic Greek statues, with one leg slightly advanced.Stanford has depicted him arms missing, as if broken off. The small, square base on which he is positioned interrupts his legs just below the knee. Thus he evokes ancient sculpture as it so often reaches us: fractured, incomplete, and part buried. Yet he retains the lower half of his head, facing sideways. Part of his helmet is discernible, as are a stylised lock of hair and the inscrutable line of his mouth. Carved stone sculpture of Memnon, naked, carved with the bottom half of the head, torso, and legs to the knees. Left arm absent from shoulder and right arm missing from just below the elbow. Legs on a plinth with MEMNON carved into it.
REDMG:1953.25.103 Moulded female figurine with extended arms, wearing headdress. Flat, roughly worked back. Arm position suggests she may have been a singer, forming parts of a ring and is now broken from her base.
