Description
Greece, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. An attractive, mold-formed terracotta bust of a female, perhaps a goddess, with an elegant presentation. Her serene visage exhibits almond-shaped eyes with delineated pupils and puffy lids beneath thin, curving brows, full cheeks and lips, a slender nose with grooved nostrils, a supple neck line, and a smooth forehead. Her wavy coiffure is lightly parted down the center with neatly-arranged bangs framing the top of her head beneath a simple headdress. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 4.25" W x 4.375" H (10.8 cm x 11.1 cm); 7" H (17.8 cm) on included custom stand.
