The woman's weight is shifted to her right leg.
Her head is turned slightly to the right.
Her pupils are not engraved, and only her eyebrows are shown.
She is wearing a tunic and a peplos fastened on her right shoulder.
Her second garment freely falls to the front.
Her kymation rests on the left shoulder with an oblique frontal fold.
I can't understand. They are describing a statue in a museum. How can a statue have a kymation?

maybe a typo - it should be himation
:)
A himation (Ancient Greek: ἱμάτιον /hɪˈmætiˌɒn/ hə-MAT-ee-un[1]) was a type of clothing, a mantle or wrap worn by ancient Greek men and women from the Archaic through the Hellenistic periods (c. 750–30 BC). It was usually worn over a chiton and/or peplos, but was made of heavier drape and played the role of a cloak or shawl. When the himation was used alone, without a chiton, and served both as a chiton and as a cloak, it was called an achiton. The himation was markedly less voluminous than the Roman toga. It was usually a large rectangular piece of woollen cloth. Many vase paintings depict women wearing a himation as a veil covering their faces.[2]
