Item Details

Description

Ca. 4000 - 3000 BC.
An amazing terracotta head of Vinca Idol represented with large face and elongated incised eyes. This statuette, probably a cult idol, dates to the Neolithic Era which saw the development of farming and human technology. This flourishing culture was the largest known in Europe at that time. Clay statuettes have been discovered in the region's Vinca settlements, suggesting of the intense magic-religious practices within the Vinca culture. This statuette is anthropomorphic, or human-shaped, and is presumed to have been used for ritual purposes. For similar see: Cleveland Museum of Art, 106A Migration Period & Coptic.
Size: 75mm x 65mm; Weight: 320g
Provenance: Property of a central London gallery, acquired on the US art market; formerly in NYC collection; Ex. F. A. gallery NYC.
