Summary edit

Description
English: Seated female draped statue. Pergamon probably altar terrace. 190-160 BC. In post-classical times this figure was deliberately smashed into many pieces which has made it difficult to reconstruct and interpret. The seated figure's turned body and head as well as the naked left breast suggest the woman is part of a group with an infant. This representation is suitable for a nymph or your mother deity that is nursing her son or the infant in her care. (AvP VII 50) Note: the child to her side was found elsewhere, head and torso must come from the same figure. It probably was part of a group with the female statue in this group.
Deutsch: Sitzende weibliche Gewandstatue. Pergamon 190-160 v. Chr. Marmor. Die Figur wurde in der Nachantike absichtsvoll in zahlreiche Fragmente zerschlagen, was ihre Rekonstruktion und Deutung bislang erschwert hat. Die Wendung des Körpers und des Kopfes sowie die nackte linke Brust der Sitzenden sprechen dafür, dass die Frau Teil einer Gruppe mit Kleinkind gewesen ist. Diese Darstellung passt zu einer Nymphe oder Muttergottheit, die ihren Zögling oder Sohn im Arm hält und stillt. AvP VII 50 Der Kopf und der Torso des Kindes wurden an unterschiedlichen Orten auf dem Stadtberg gefunden, weshalb man ihre Zusammengehörigkeit lange Zeit nicht erkannte. Der Marmor weist aber so große übereinstimmungen auf, dass die zwei Fragmente zwingend zu einer einzigen Figur gehört haben müssen. Auch die Verbindung zur sitzenden Frauenstatue ist aufgrund von Gesteinsuntersuchungen und künsthistorischen Überlegungen sehr wahrscheinlich.
