Description

100% of the Hammer price of all lots sold in this auction will be donated to Community Food Share by Artemis Gallery. $1.00 = 3 meals!

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. A petite, hollow terracotta head depicting an elderly man which was once part of a larger figure. The man displays an expressive countenance comprised of recessed eyes, a bulbous nose, slightly-parted lips, and slender ears, all beneath a brimmed hat. Stylized wrinkles across his brow indicate his advanced age, and the figure perhaps represented an important male elder in society. Remains of the original white pigmentation are visible. Custom wooden display stand included. Size: 1.625" H (4.1 cm); 2.625" H (6.7 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Houston, Texas, USA collection; ex-Bonhams London Antiquities Auction, 8 May, 2013, part of lot 205; ex-Jil Danon collection, Paris, France, formed between the 1940s and 1990

Head is a fragment of a larger figure. Age-commensurate surface wear, small nicks and roughness along the neck line and back of head, fading to some facial details, losses to white pigmentation as shown, and light discoloration to terracotta, otherwise very good.
