Etruscan Ceramic Votive Foot
4th-3rd century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £91
Comprising the outer part of a right foot with elongated toes and anatomical detailing, base of a sandal visible on the outer edge. 351 grams, 19 cm
Acquired in Germany before 2000. English private collection.
This object belongs to impasto ceramics of red-brown typology, and it was probably an unfinished votive foot. It could have been part of a medium-size statuette, or an anatomical ex voto related to a temple deposit, linked with a health divinity. We have parallels in Veii, Vulci and in the whole of the Latial area. -
