Sculptural latex mould can be used to create a girl of Hera. Unmarried women
raced once every four years in the Heraea

Quick sketch of a runner which can be made in small sizes and red rubber moulds.
These can then be ddressed in ancient, modern, precocious, Goth or any type of attire.
There would be a series of multiple 'dolls'. An ironic look at how women are perceived in society.
Unmarried women only were allowed to race in the Heraea race of Olympus.
Their prizes were given in three ages groups; all receiving an olive branch crown and part of a heifer (meat carved in shares), dedicated to the goddess Hera when competing is done. These girls were allowed to dedicate their portraits with their names 'inscribed to the Temple of Hera' (website op. cit )
