- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Boeotia, ca. first half of the 6th century BCE. A lovely, hand-built pottery idol of a characteristically abstract form with a flared, concave base, a plank-form body, and outstretched nubbin arms. The thick neck tapers gradually to form a minimalist, 'beaked' face complete with zigzagging bangs and large eyes, and the head is topped with a polos and a curled frontal ornament. Additional dark slip pigment adorns her body and forms rectangular boxes on her abdomen, slender frets around her base, and a pendant necklace draped atop her bosom. Size: 2.45" W x 5.7" H (6.2 cm x 14.5 cm); 6.1" H (15.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Cf. "Idols: The Beginning of Abstract Form." Ariadne Galleries, Inc., New York, November 30, 1989 to January 31, 1990, p. 72, fig. 45
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Basil W.R. Jenkins collection, California, USA, acquired 1980 to 1990s
