Description
This exquisite Cypriot terracotta plank figurine, measuring a delicate 7.5 cm in height, 3 cm in width, and 2 cm in depth (approximately 2.95x1.18x0.79 inches), stands as a testament to the artistic expression of the Mediterranean region during the early 2nd millennium BC. The figure is distinguished by its stylized beard depicted in a dot pattern, a characteristic of the period's iconography, and its hair is styled in a long tail at the back of the head, suggesting a sophisticated approach to personal grooming and societal status. Unearthed mid-20th century in Cyprus, this piece later became a part of D.E.'s private collection in Limassol before being acquired by Ms. K.J., a renowned collector of ancient art based in Athens, in the late 1980s. This artifact promises to be a centerpiece in any collection, embodying the rich cultural heritage of its era.
