STATUETTE FEMININE Terre cuite, traces de concrétions H. 40 cm Grande-Grèce, VIe siècle av. J.-C. Représentée debout sur une haute base quadrangulaire légèrement évasée, vêtue d'un long chiton ceinturé à la taille et d'un himation retombant le long des flancs, les pieds apparents. Le bras gauche est ramené sur la poitrine, le bras droit est plié et tient un objet contre l'épaule, peut-être une situle (?). Le visage est encadré d'une volumineuse chevelure bouclée en deux masses latérales, rendue par des pastilles, et surmonté d'un haut polos évasé. Le revers est plat et présente un large évent rectangulaire allant des épaules à la base. Un test de thermoluminescence du laboratoire QED, dont le résultat est compatible avec la datation proposée, accompagne ce lot. Ancienne collection privée du Sud de la France, acquise avant 1983. Documentation photographique datée de décembre 1983. Inventaire de collection daté de 1991. Puis par descendance. Female figure Standing on a tall, slightly flaring quadrangular base, wearing a long belted chiton and a himation falling along the sides, the feet visible. The left arm is brought to the chest, the right arm is bent and holds an object against the shoulder, possibly a situla (?). The face is framed by a voluminous curly coiffure in two lateral masses, rendered with pellets, and is surmounted by a tall flaring polos. The back is flat, with a large rectangular vent from the shoulders to the base. This lot is accompanied by a QED Laboratoire thermoluminescence analysis report, the result of which is consistent with the proposed dating.
