It is modelled after a lost Greek original of the fourth century BC made by Polykleitos the Younger, and is now kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens in Greece with accession number 262.

The statue was found in ancient Epidaurus, in the sanctuary of Asclepius the year 1886 during excavation works, along with several other sculptures in the site.

[1] She is dressed in a thin (almost transparent) chiton that embraces her torso so that the finer curves of her body, especially the pubic triangle and the navel, can be admired.

[1] The goddess's hair is coiffed in very delicate and wavy tresses, and is tied with a ribbon and placed at the back of her head in a pigtail that is wound in a snood.

[1] It has been suggested (in particular due to the features of the head) that this statue is not a Roman copy but in fact a Greek original of the Hellenistic era.
