AN ARCHAIC GREEK TERRACOTTA BUST OF A FEMALE, 700 BC
A beautiful, mold-made terracotta protome depicting a female - possibly a goddess - wearing a headdress drawn up over her long hair that elegantly falls to her shoulders. Archaic smile. Although the exact significance of this smile is unknown, scholars suggest that the ancient Greeks associated it with good health and well-being.
The protome is a type of bust made by pressing a thin layer of terracotta into a single mold. These were first made in Rhodes, but from the early fifth century BCE onwards they spread throughout Greece.
Ancient Greece - 700 BC.
Provenance: Private Collection, NYC.
H: excluding base 5 1/4 in., (13.3 cm.)
Condition: Good overall. Chipping and cracks in places. Facial features are well preserved. See photos for reference.
