English: Ancient Greek marble statue of the Hellenistic period (around 4th-3rd century BC), smaller than lifesize. Its head and arms are missing. It depicts a woman, most likely Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. It was probably a finial from the Metroon. It has also been proposed that it depicts a running Niobid from a Murder of the Niobids sculptural group that served as acroteria. Now exhibited in the first floor of the Ancient Agora of Athens Museum (Stoa of Attalus) with inventory number S 440, Greece.
