Descriptions Published Catalogue Text: Stone Sculptures: The Greek, Roman and Etruscan Collections of the Harvard University Art Museums , written 199098 Finger The finger is incrusted. A break between the two joints has been mended. This appears to be a right index finger from a slightly overlifesized statue. The hand was extended, with the fingers bent, as if an attribute had been on the palm of the hand. The statue was probably that of a goddess.
