| Ca. 1st century BC - 1st century AD. Mold-made terracotta pottery seated figure of a seated woman in a posture of adoration; her legs bent and spread beneath her, holding an offering upright in her right hand with the left hand held upright, as well. While the purpose of these figures is uncertain, they are believed to hold religious significance, ranging from votives of the dead to representations of a fertility goddess (possibly Isis) or possibly relate to female rites of passage. 4-7/8"H. Broken/repaired, with remains of lime wash. Provenance: Ex-C. Mallick Collection, Denver, CO. | ||
