Description

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Greece, Classical to Hellenistic, a. late 5th to 4th century BCE. A wonderful ensemble of three mold-formed terracotta votive heads meant to serve as offerings at a temple or a shrine.

Complementing this are two elegant female heads, the smaller wearing a wreath upon her wavy coiffure, both with delicate almond eyes, naturalistic noses, and full lips. A lovely gathering from ancient Greece. Size: male head measures 3.625" H (9.2 cm); 5.5" H (14 cm) on included custom stand.
