- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Canosa, ca. 3rd century BCE. A tall mold-made earthenware votive figure depicting a female goddess who is standing in classic contrapposto pose with her right leg bent at the knee and her weight shifted, her arms at her sides, facing forward with a tranquil visage presenting delicate features, a magnificent curly coiffure, and a flat polos/headdress. The drapery folds of her long garments cascade over every curve of her attractive figure. Nice remains of red, grey, and white pigments grace the surface. Size: 16.5" H (41.9 cm)
Canosa (Apulian: Canaus) was a major center of the ceramics and pottery trade when it was a Greek polis. Its artisans produced truly unique sculpture and pottery, completely different in decoration style from earlier and neighboring traditions. The clay is buff, with the decoration applied directly to it without the use of slip; here we see liberal amounts of white as well as red and grey pigments remaining on this figure. A spectacular example of ancient funerary art.
