Angelitos Athena [SEP] material used
Angelitos Athena
The Angelitos Athena is an ancient marble statue, which was made around 480-470 BC. The figure, the earliest known depiction of the armed Athena, is an example of the severe style, the transitional style between archaic and classical Greek sculpture which developed after the Persian Wars. Today it is located at the Acropolis Museum under the inventory number 140. 
The statue is heavily damaged and has lost its head. Like earlier depictions of Athena she wears the archaic peplos, but she also has the aegis
Calf Bearer, and the Angelitos Athena (photograph, right).
Details of the excavations were published in 1906 (see references: Kavvadias, P., Kawerau, G.).
