[1] The relief depicts a female breast. On such ‘anatomical votives’, see AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence (2017). It was dedicated in the sanctuary of Amynos, on which see (IG II³ 4, 902 with notes). There is a nail hole under the relief for attaching the plaque to a wall. The lower portion of the plaque which bore the inscription was last seen by the epigrapher Hans von Prott sometime before 1903 and now appears to be lost.
