Hellenistic statue of a muse (?) from the Library of Alexandria, limestone, h: 31,5 cm.
In the Museum der Universität Tübingen MUT, Germany; inv. no. 5314.
The figure holds cithara (lyre) in the left hands. Wears along tunic with a wide ornate belt, and a cloak pinned with a round brooch on the right shoulder. The head seems to be from the other sculpture. Can this be the Citharede Apollo figure?
