Item Details
Description
Greece, Corinth, Rhodes, or eastern Greece, Archaic period, ca. 600 BCE. A hollow ceramic figure of a seated goddess, mold-made and with stylized features. She wears a long garment and a large headdress. The shoulders have large, applied discs that form the only decoration on the figure's body below the neck. She has the "Archaic smile", which has been taken by art historians to mean that the subject is intended to appear alive and peaceful. Statuary like this was left as offerings in temples and buried in tombs. Size: 1.55" W x 4.45" H (3.9 cm x 11.3 cm)
