Torso of Diana of Ephesus. Late 2nd century AD, Asia Minor. H approx. 61cm. Fragment of the upper body of a life-size statue made of white, fine crystalline marble. The chest section with the bent, half arms and the two upper zones of the goddess's ependyte are preserved; the formerly inserted head is missing. The back is heavily sintered; only a narrow strip of fabric ending in fringes and falling down onto the back is visible. The chest area is adorned with a pectoral consisting of two necklaces with pendants: lanceolate leaves hang from the upper chain; in the center, a downward-opening crescent encloses a rosette. Stylized acorns hang from the lower chain, alternating with flowers (immortelles?). The lower chest and belly area is covered by egg-shaped formations lying on top of each other like scales, which are interpreted as 'bull's testicles'. These formations are smaller towards the bottom. The ependytes, a cloak-like apron (usually made of metal) worn by the goddess over the chiton and fastened at the back with a belt, has two zones, each with three fields in relief. The upper cassettes depict bull protomes, the three lower ones show rosettes. On the bull's testicles, see G. Seiterle, Artemis - die große Göttin von Ephesos, in: Antike Welt, Jahrgang 10, Heft 3, 1979, pp. 6-16. Head, arms and lower body missing. Bumps.
