Stone statue of a female figure wearing a crown

The statue may represent a worshipper holding an offering of a flower, or a goddess, probably Aphrodite. The figure is similar to the seated females wearing crowns and holding flowers on the two gold rings from the Oxus Treasure and the figures on the Oxus plaques holding flowers. It was made around 450 BC.
