Newton Hall Athena, or Walston Athena. Statue of Athena. She stands with her left hand on her hip; in her (lost) right hand she would have carried a spear. She wears a Corinthian helmet tipped back on her head, a chiton, and over it a himation that is bunched in thick folds beneath her breast, with an aegis poking out above the folds. Two other almost complete figures of this type are known (the so-called 'Vescovali' Athena). All three resemble one of the figures carved in relief on a statue base from Mantineia in the Greek Peloponnese, dating to around 340 BC and associated with the sculptor Praxiteles. Carved marble, height 1.625 m, width 0.64 m, depth 0.35 m (approx), weight 394.5 kg (approx). Production Place: Italy, Roman Period, 100 to 200 AD.
