Greek Archaic Pottery Protome (Votive Head)

Item Details

Description

Western Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 6th to 5th century BCE. A lovely mold-made earthenware protome of a female face, probably a goddess, with a slender visage, comprised of ovoid eyes, a prominent nose, full lips, and a protruding chin. Her arched brows sit just below a curved hairline that stretches from one naturalistic ear to the other, framing her entire profile. All is surmounted by a large headdress. This example would have been painted with bright colors upon completion. It is perforated through the top of the head for suspension, probably in a personal altar in a home. She is set in a modern frame with a cloth matte for easy and elegant display. Size: 3.8" W x 6" H (9.7 cm x 15.2 cm); of frame: 15" W x 17" H (38.1 cm x 43.2 cm)

Provenance: ex-John Hurter collection, Palm Springs, California, USA, acquired prior to 1995
