A tour de force by Isaac Broome, Parthenia is considered one of his masterpieces. She is in classical dress, with ''PARTHENIA'' embossed in the upper left corner. Not only artistically is this an achievement, but also technically. It wasn''t easy at that time to fire such a large and thick piece of clay successfully and not have it warp or crack. The color and shading is excellent on this piece. The condition is very good, with a few small nicks to the edges.
