Fragments of the monumental statue of Athena – The lower part of the colossal statue of Athena Promachos was assembled from 36 fragments found in the church of Agios Dimitrios. The goddess wears a long dress, moves vigorously and rests her whole left foot on the floor of the pedestal. The elaborate working of her dress, which falls in a series of distinct waves as a result of the goddess's movement, contrasts with the unfinished legs. The Severe Style helps with dating: 480 BC. Storage place: Archaeological Museum of Paros (A91-A800).
