Themis of Rhamnous

[1] Her standing figure is dressed in a sleeved chiton caught by a zone under the bodice, wrapped in a himation whose ends are draped over her outstretched left forearm.

Her weight is borne on the left leg, with the right knee brought forward and the heel lifted.

[4][3] The statue was discovered in 1890 in the course of excavations by the Archaeological Society of Athens, directed by Valerios Stais.

[4] It was found, along with other statuary and fragments, in the cella of the smaller of the two temples which lie adjacent to each other on the site.

[3] A stylistic connection has been suggested to a torso (S 2370) found in Athens and tentatively identified as a personification of Demokratia, Tyche, or Themis.
