Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Archaic, ca. 650 to 480 BCE. A charming mold-made terracotta female head protome of the Archaic period, wearing a stephane, a himation drawn up and over her head, with a crimped fringe of bangs and long plaited/braided locks elegantly framing her face and ears, a lovely visage presenting open, almond-shaped, lidded eyes, a relatively naturalistic nose, nicely contoured cheeks, a rounded chin, and that signature Archaic smile. Although the exact significance of this smile is unknown, scholars suggest that it indicated good health and well being - that the woman being portrayed was alive. The bust is further delineated with a subtly modeled chest and a long neck. Remains of red and white pigment are still on the surface. Size: 9.05" W x 9" H (23 cm x 22.9 cm)

Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
