- Lot Description
Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, ca. 332 to 30 BCE. 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 sits with splayed legs while proudly displaying her portly thighs, breasts, and belly, holding her right hand to her abdomen and pubis, and grasping a cornucopia object in her left hand. Her feminine countenance presents with almond eyes, jowly cheeks, and a prominent chin, all framed within a centrally-parted coiffure and a tall headdress bearing flowing lappets. Faint remains of green, red, and white pigment are visible around the figure along with remains of the white plaster base layer. Size: 5.2" W x 6.25" H (13.2 cm x 15.9 cm)
Exhibited in the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art (RAFFMA), California State University, San Bernardino from 1998 to 2023, reference number EL01.098.1998.
