Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Asia Minor, Anatolia peninsula, ca. 3200 to 2300 BCE. Two handmade pottery idols, each with a highly abstract anthropomorphic body; each also has a bird-like face and a simplified body standing on four low nubs. Both have depressions for eyes on either side of their beak-like noses, and the larger of the two has incised lines, perhaps meant to represent necklaces, low on its body. Each is finished with pale, mineral-based pigment. Size of largest: 1.45" W x 2.5" H (3.7 cm x 6.4 cm)
