Greek Canosan Pottery Votive Figure Seated Female

Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Canosan, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE. A wonderful, mold-made pottery figure of a seated female, perhaps a goddess. Enveloped in liberal remains of pink and white pigments, the ancient female sits upright on a chair or throne with hands on her fused legs as she faces forward. A lengthy robe cascades down her slender body, while her minimalist visage is capped by a helmet-like coiffure or headdress. Size: 1.5" W x 3.5" H (3.8 cm x 8.9 cm)

Canosa, or Canosion as it was known then, was a major center of the ceramics and pottery trade when it was a Greek polis. Canosan artists produced truly unique pottery, completely different in decoration style from earlier and neighboring traditions. The clay is buff, with the decoration applied directly to it without the use of slip.

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
