The likeness existing between this terra-cotta fig-urine and the preceding illustration leads to the conclusion that themovements are the same. The right foot of Fig. 452 is flat on theground, otherwise the pos-ture is the same as that ofthe right foot of Fig. dancer turns in thesame manner, at a moderaterate of movement. Com-paring the two, it is difficultto say what is the directionof the rotation.
