Surviving traces of reddish pigment still visible in the hair of this figure reflect the fact that most ancient statues were originally vividly painted. In addition to the curls of the hair, the eyebrows, eyelashes, eyes, and mouth, and perhaps even the skin would have been painted, lending this small-scale figure a more life-like appearance. This small-scale figure could have been a tomb statue or an athletic victor’s dedication to a god.
