Greek Terracotta Votive of Man & Woman

Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. late 4th to 2nd century BCE. A mold-made ceramic statue of an older man and a younger woman, the former dressed in a skullcap and himation that covers all of his body but his face and feet, the latter attired only in a himation tied in a knot around her upper thighs, leaving her breasts exposed, and a headband. This item was probably made to be a funerary monument. When first made and displayed, this would have been brightly painted. Size: 3.2" W x 5.8" H (8.1 cm x 14.7 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Paris, France collection, 1980s
