- Lot Description
Greece, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE; Magna Graecia, Apulia, Canosan, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. A lovely gathering of three mold-formed pottery heads of females, perhaps goddesses based on their elegant and dignified presentation. The Hellenistic head has a tapered face, ovoid eyes, a pronounced philtrum on the upper lip, and carefully plaited coiffure rows terminating in a discoid bun on the verso. Second is an orange-slipped Canosan head with wavy bangs, a head wrap with a central medallion, and traces of thick white and red pigmentation. The largest Canosan head features a wide neck line, a bulbous nose, and wavy bangs that display dense traces of red and white pigment. A fine ensemble of Hellenistic artistry! Size of largest (Canosan w/ wide neck): 1.25" W x 1.4" H (3.2 cm x 3.6 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.

All items have light encrustations, softening to some finer details, and fading to original pigmentation. Nice earthen deposits throughout. Great traces of original pigmentation to both Canosan heads.Condition
