Item Details

Description

Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. late 4th to 2nd century CE. A mold-made ceramic votive figure of rare form, featuring a man holding the arm of a small child standing beside him. Depictions of women with children and children alone are fairly common from the Hellenistic period, but men with children are much rarer. Votive figures of children are most frequently found in sanctuaries dedicated to healing or protection, giving us a poignant idea of what the adults who placed them desired. Size: 2.95" W x 6.45" H (7.5 cm x 16.4 cm); 7.05" H (17.9 cm) on included custom stand.

Condition

Lower part of body may have been restored, but if so it is incredibly well done and almost impossible to discern. Otherwise in great condition, with nice deposits and remaining pigment.
