Then, how would you interprete the two horizontal lines at the belly under which the chiton behaves like a chiton with pleats but above as one without, appearing strangely narrow? It would be an rather uncommon belt, if it is interpreted as one. And that the artist used one or two lines (as far as I see) to show the lower hems of the chiton but three lines to show the hems at the arm holes?
It could be a chiton only but could also be a form of jerkin over a chiton. I prefer the latter interpretation.
