VINCA TERRACOTTA HEAD OF IDOL - Ca. 4000 - 3000 BC. An amazing terracotta head of Vinca Idol represented with large face and elongated incised eyes. This statuette, probably a cult idol, dates to the Neolithic Era which saw the development of farming and human technology. This flourishing culture was the largest known in Europe at that time. Clay statuettes have been discovered in the region's Vinca settlements, suggesting of the intense magic-religious practices within the Vinca culture. This statuette is anthropomorphic, or human-shaped, and is presumed to have been used for ritual purposes. For similar see: Cleveland Museum of Art, 106A Migration Period & Coptic.

Philippe MOREL (b. 1948), attributed to. Bust and face facing right. Terracotta sculpture, black lacquered wood base. H: 36 cm (with base).

Leonhard Sattler (1676 Altstädten in the Allgäu - 1744 St. Florian/Upper Austria) attr; Pair of Atlantean sculptures Counterparts. Limewood, carved almost in full relief, slightly flattened at the back. Youths standing on a rectangular plinth as atlases. They turn strongly to the left and right in opposing, dynamic poses, pulling the long shawl up over one shoulder; the heads correspondingly diagonal and looking downwards. The sculptures, possibly originally created as models, are stylistically closely related to the four atlases that Sattler created in 1711-1713 for the abbey portal of St. Florian. After his training (presumably in Munich), Sattler was an assistant to Giovanni Giuliani (1664 - 1744) in Vienna. He is first documented in St. Florian in 1711, where he worked primarily for the monastery, one of the largest and best-known monasteries in Austria. Sattler's atlas sculptures were undoubtedly influenced by Giuliani's atlases, which he created for important buildings in Vienna from the end of the 17th century - Neuwaldegg Palace, Liechtenstein Palace and the city palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy. H. 62 cm. Another comparable piece is a terracotta model made by Sattler in 1711-1713 for St. Florian's Abbey in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. Attributed to Leonhard Sattler (1676 - 1744). A pair of carved limewood atlantes sculptures.
