Syro-Hittite Pottery Standing Female Idol

Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Northern Syria, Syro-Hittite culture, ca. 3rd millennium BCE. An interesting hand-built earthenware female idol, perhaps with fertility connotations in mind based on the globular breasts situated visibly in front of her otherwise planar chest. Her arms curve outward from sloped shoulders with a segmented necklace shrouding her clavicle, and her feminine figure exhibits a slightly corseted waistline above fused legs. Her petite head is composed with a dramatically pinched nose, two discoid eyes without pupil perforations, and triangular earrings with incised vertical grooves. The rendering of the eyes was used throughout the ancient Near East to reflect the idea that eyes must be wide and attentive to show religious devotion. Size: 1.4" W x 3.875" H (3.6 cm x 9.8 cm); 4.4" H (11.2 cm) on included custom stand.

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