An early example of monumental, free standing sculpture from early Greek art. The statue is over six feet tall and has a cylindrical shape that was derived from Mesopotamia.

An engraving that runs along the edge of the veil reads on the original piece, “Cheramyes dedicated me to Hera as an offering”. c.570-560 B.C.E.
