- Lot Description
Egypt, mid-Ptolemaic to Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE. A hollow-molded terracotta effigy of Baubo, the elderly Greek trickster goddess of humor as well as maintaining and protecting the fertility of the land. Baubo stands nude while proudly displaying her portly thighs and belly, holding her left hand on her hip and her right hand held near her shoulder, and wearing bangles along her ankles, wrists, and biceps. Her puffy countenance is framed with a coiffure of tightly braided locks as well as a pair of 'beaded' earrings that drape down to her clavicle. Faint remains of pink and orange pigment suggest this figure was at one time embellished with bright pigments to accentuate her bawdy and sexually-liberated personality. Size: 3.5" W x 5.9" H (8.9 cm x 15 cm); 7.25" H (18.4 cm) on included custom stand.
For an example of Baubo in a seated pose, please see The British Museum, museum number 1886,0401.1452
