Item Details

Description

5th century B.C. A terracotta figure modelled as a female kore standing on an integral plinth, wearing a polos, semi-naturalistic detailing to her facial features; mounted on a custom-made display base. Cf. Stanbury O’Donnell, M.D., A History of the Greek Art, Oxford, 2015, fig.I.4, p.9. 185 grams total, 20 cm high including stand (7 7/8 in.). Private collection. With Galerie Serodine, Ascona, Switzerland, early 1990s. Ex collection of Dr. E.N., acquired in 1995. This figurine belongs to the well known typology of the kore with chiton and polos, possibly a representation of the goddess Demeter. The clay figurine was one of the most common dedications in sanctuaries of the archaic period in Ionia and throughout the Aegean. The typology was characterised as a standing female with her legs and feet together and her right arm brought up to the chest, the right hand often holding a bird; the left arm hanging at the side. The head is stylised with large, almond-shaped eyes and thick lips; large ears are set high on the head. These figurines were votive offerings and were completely painted in natural colours. The archaic Eastern Greek model was widespread all around the Mediterranean, influencing also the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price
