Etruscan Terracotta Head of a Male Youth

Item Details

Description

Classical World, Etruria (Italy), ca. 5th century BCE. An impressively naturalistic pottery head of a young boy featuring idealized characteristics. Crowned by a wavy coiffure, the child gazes outward from generously-lidded eyes beneath arched brows. His visage displays a petite nose, full cheeks, and bowed lips, all flanked by a pair of prominent ears. As was customary of Etruscan sculpture, this piece was mold-made. At this time symbolic human figures were favored over veristic portraiture intended to represent specific individuals which would develop later in Rome. Size: 4.8" W x 8.5" H (12.2 cm x 21.6 cm); 10.8" H (27.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Rancho Mirage, California, USA collection, by inheritance in 2020; ex-Dr. TDR Berreth, California, USA, acquired before 1982

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
