Two ancient Greek statues depicting female figures were discovered from a burial tomb east of Athens the Greek Ministry of Culture announced on Sunday. The discovery was made during the construction of the new City Hall of Paiania.

 

According to a statement of the Ministry of Culture, the tomb is preserved in fragments and full-sized female figures were discovered with their heads missing.

 

One of the statutes, presumably belonging to a wealthy and prominent individual is seated on an elaborate seat and rests her legs on a low footrest.
