.jpg "Roman Terracotta Female Figure on Pedestal Base")
Sold for (Inc. bp): £845
Dressed in voluminous robes with pleating to the undergarment, the figure depicted in contrapposto position with her weight on the left leg and right leg bent at the knee, a square pillar flanking the right leg; both arms raised with the open palms facing upwards; standing on a square pedestal; hollow form. 266 grams, 22 cm
Ex London gallery, UK, 1980s.
Ex private UK collection.
This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.
Cf. similar terracotta female statuettes in Castagnoli, F. & others, (ed.), Enea nel Lazio, Archeologia e Mito, Roma, 1981, p.260, fig.D254.
The figure represents a woman caught in the act of offering; originally, she probably had a patera and a gift in the other hand. The statuette has a plain back as it probably was intended to be placed in a shrine inside a votive deposit. In the now empty space there could have been a name and a painted dedication.
