Item Details
Description
Ancient Near East, Syria, Syro-Hittite, 2750 BCE to 1900 BCE. An impressive Syro-Hittite pillar figurine characteristically abstract in form with mysterious eyes and an almost bird-like presence, yet the monolithic body is distinctly human. Pillar figurines are a form of statuary made in tribute to these ancient culture’s gods and goddesses. These figurines are found throughout the region, yet few are of this high quality. This particular example boasts unique features, such as the beaded necklace and elaborate crown that adorn this piece. As ancient as this object is, it is in excellent condition and with its curvaceous form continues to connote fertility and emit an aura of mystery and wonder. Wood block stand. Size: figurine itself measures 5-7/8" (14.9 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private East Coast, USA collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
