Item Details

Description

Terracotta Seated Figure with traces of white pigment. Small figurines such as this one were made to be presented as votive gifts to a deity. It is not always clear whether they represent a god, a priest or priestess, or a person offering a gift. These rigid figures seated on thrones and wearing elaborate headdresses are probably goddesses. Hundreds of such statues were buried in trenches on the Akropolis after the Persians looted and burned Athens in 480 B.C., and it hasbeen suggested that they represent an early cult statue of Athena. Size: 3 x 5 1/2 in.2
