Greek pottery votive protome
A moulded pottery protome in the form of a female head framed by an himation drawn over the top of the head like a veil. Items such as this have been found in large numbers and it is therefore assumed that they served as votive offerings to temples and household shrines. The female head is usually thought to represent Demeter or Hera. Greek, 6th Century BC. Intact Size: 11 x 7.5 cms. Provenance Ex: private collection, UK.
