Greek Marble Head of a Woman
2nd century B.C.Estimate: £1,200 - 1,700 (+bp*)
Opening Bid: £667
A marble head of lady carved in the round with semi-naturalistic, masculine facial features, severe facial expression, hair dressed with a central parting and tied in a chignon at the nape of the neck; mounted on a custom-made display stand. 386 grams total, 11 cm high
Acquired in the 1980s. Ex private German collection.
Probably a votive statuette, of which only the head remains; it may also have been part of a high-relief made in the style of Asia Minor sculptures. The soft treatment of the hair, and the deep-set eyes in the narrow face, creating a soft effect, are among the characteristics known from the late Classical period. The arrangement of the hair in soft curls encircling the face, in a manner which provides a triangular form to the forehead, and then hanging downwards after being collected at the back of the neck, resembles the Kore types known from the early Hellenistic period. -
