Walking Athena Promachos figurine. The goddess wears long, sleeved chiton with low-waist belt. She has an Attic-type helmet on her head and she must have held a spear and a shield.
Athena walking fully-armed was a theme most likely inspired by the goddess’ depiction on Panathenaic amphorae as well as the Gigantomachy pediment of the Old Temple on the Acropolis.
