- Lot Description
Greece, Hellenistic, ca. 3rd century BCE to early 2nd century CE. A lovely ensemble of three mold-made terracotta heads. The first head displays an ovoid visage with heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose, and full lips, all topped by luscious locks of hair beneath a modius, suggesting that this figure is likely a deity. Supported by an elongated neck, the second head is the largest of the three and depicts a youth, exhibiting annular eyes, an arched brow, a flat nose, and gently parted lips. This round visage is capped with a bulbous coiffure of thick, wavy hair. The last and smallest head appears to belong to a child wearing a thick headband over straight hair. The boyish visage presents a prominent brow, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed nose, and a closed mouth. Size: 1.375" W x 2.25" H (3.5 cm x 5.7 cm); 3" H (7.6 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-Davis collection, Houston, Texas, acquired before 2013 from various auction houses in London and New York
