- Synopsis
- This is an image of a woman dressed in an ancient Greek-style peplos: a simple robe fashioned from a single rectangular piece of fabric. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The woman is standing facing to the front so that all her facial features can be found. Her head is in the top centre of the page. Her hair falls to either side of her face; around it, she wears a yellow band. Down from her face you will find her neck, and to each side her shoulders with the peplos held over them by diamond-shaped pins. The woman's arms are bare. To the left, one stretches out down and left then bends right at the elbow to go down to her hand resting on her hip. To the right, her other arm hangs by her side. The robe that the woman wears is coloured green with a darker green stripe at the bottom. It is held in at the waist by a belt and hangs in many folds to her bare feet at the bottom of the page. Well-off Greek people liked to wear brightly coloured clothes, often with intricate patterns.
