Item Details

Description

Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 6th century BCE. The head from a mold-made terracotta votive figure of a woman, depicted with a bulging coiffure below her towering polos headdress. The Greeks adopted the polos from the ancient Near East and by the Archaic Period; it signified the mother goddesses Rhea, Hera, and Cybele (in Mycenean times, some mortal women are depicted wearing them). This excellent example has the classic form of the Archaic face - realistic, but not yet showing the individualized portrayals from the Classical era. She has the "Archaic smile", which has been taken by art historians to mean that the subject is intended to appear alive and peaceful. Size: 2.3" W x 3.75" H (5.8 cm x 9.5 cm); 5.7" H (14.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Owen collection, New Jersey, USA, acquired in the 1990s from a US-based dealer; purchased at Berman's Auction New Jersey, USA in April, 1999
