Hellenistic Terracotta Female Head Fragment

$237.59

A finely modelled, Greek, terracotta, female head fragment from the Hellenistic period. The face has been delicately rendered with classical facial features, including lidded-eyes and a small mouth. Her hair is parted neatly in the centre and placed in a bun at the nape. On top of this elegant hairstyle sits a smooth veil. The hollow head is mounted on a custom-made stand. The fragment displays traces of the original white slip, and was probably part of a larger statue of a goddess or female personification.

Measurements without the stand: (circa) Height 3.2cm x Width 2.8cm.

Terracotta figurines are the most common sculpture types found across Hellenistic sites. They vary from simple crude figures to finely rendered creations. Although present in a variety of different circumstances, a common usage was as a votive offering in funerary and sanctuary contexts. Terracotta figures were cheap to make and easily replicable, making them well suited for this purpose.
