Item Details

Description

Greece, probably Tanagra, Boeotia, Hellenstic period, ca. late 4th to 3rd century BCE. A head from the naturalistic tradition of pottery that is best known from Tanagra, where figurines like the one that had this for a head have been found in the hundreds. The majority of these figures depict fashionable women, as shown here -a head with a sensitive face and an elaborate coiffure. Figures like this one represented a break in tradition from earlier small statuary, which had had a religious function - these instead present a world of mortal women, perhaps originating from the New Comedy of Menander. Size: 1.35" W x 2.45" H (3.4 cm x 6.2 cm); 6" H (15.2 cm) on included custom stand.
