Terracotta
480–310 BC
Height 4 1/8"
Provenance: David Read, UK, 1960; London trade
This Cypro-Classical terracotta head fragment retains incised brow lines and a modeled eye with clearly defined lid, characteristic of votive figural production in Cyprus during the Classical period. Such heads were produced in large quantities for sanctuary dedications across the island, reflecting the widespread practice of presenting ceramic figures as offerings at religious sites. The fragment displays an old inscription on the reverse and presents well on its modern mount.
