Greek Canosan Pottery Figure Female Votive

Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, Canosan, Hellenistic Period, ca. mid-4th to early 2nd century BCE. A gorgeous, mold-formed pottery statue of a standing woman dressed in flowing garments and embellished with traces of pink and white powder pigment. Standing contrapposto with her left leg forward and right bent, her elongated neck projects upwards from between her sloped shoulders presenting a feminine visage replete with almond-shaped eyes, puffy cheeks, and a centrally parted coiffure. Size: 2.5" W x 7" H (6.4 cm x 17.8 cm)

Female figures like this one played an interesting role in Canosan funerary practices as they were placed into Canosan tombs as replacements for large red-figure krater amphorae; first, however, mourners had to carry these figures in funerary processions and keep them present while carrying out rituals at and inside the tomb. Virtually all of the statues known from Canosan tombs depict women. However, scholars believe that they represented goddesses or mourners rather than the gender of the deceased individual; young women played a major role as mourners in this society. The Canosans, like other members of Classical society, believed that the spirits of the dead remained at the tomb and watched over the living. Canosan tombs were frequently re-opened to entomb deceased members of the same familial lineage, and this suggests that these statues were perhaps reused to maintain the spiritual connection between the living and the dead.
