Description

**First Time At Auction**

Greece, probably Tanagra, Boeotia, Hellenistic period, ca. late 4th to 3rd century BCE. A fine, mold-made terracotta head of a woman. She exhibits almond-shaped eyes, a petite nose, thin lips drawn into a slight smile, and an elaborately-plaited coiffure drawn into a bun in the back. She dons a pair of stylized grape bunches above her smooth brow, an aesthetic element common among female dancers at the festival of Dionysus, and a pair of earrings peek through the bottom of her bangs. A fabulous face evocative of ancient beauty! Custom wooden display stand included. Size: 2" H (5.1 cm); 3.625" H (9.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-Bonham's London Antiquities Auction, 8 May, 2013, part of lot 205; ex-Jil Danon collection (d. 2012), Paris, France, formed between 1940s and 1980
