Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. A hollow, mold-formed terracotta head of a woman, perhaps a deity or someone of high society, shown in an elegant pose with her head looking slightly off to her right. Her naturalistic neck line and shoulders imbue her with a veristic presentation characteristic of Hellenistic style and provide a sense of scale and proportionality with how the remainder of her body would have appeared. Her visage is composed of puffy cheeks and a rounded chin surrounding full lips and a slender nose, with recessed almond eyes beneath heart-shaped brows and a wide forehead. Her coiffure is neatly arranged with plaited bangs folded along her hairline and capped on top with a simple cap. The layer of pale orange slip adds a fleshy tone to this wonderful female effigy. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 3.375" W x 4.125" H (8.6 cm x 10.5 cm); 6.125" H (15.6 cm) on included custom stand.
