content: Seated figure holding child on lap. Found five feet below surface (of what?). Figurine of the "Matrona" type, common in the Roman period. (cf. The Athenian Agora, Vol. VI, p.9-10, figs.33-230, esp.33-72). Probably represents some deity or can stand for several deities and because it survived into the late 4th Cent AD it was probably an iconographic prototype of the virgin and child.
