Description from the seller
Etruscan Votive Statuette of a Draped Female Figure
Culture:
Etruscan,
Date:
4th century B.C.
Description:
Terracotta votive statuette depicting a standing female figure draped in a long veil (himation) covering the head and body.

Modeled in fine reddish-brown clay with darker firing patches and traces of surface encrustations from burial. The style and proportion correspond to votive types from Veii and Tarquinia, representing worshippers or deities associated with fertility and protection.

Condition:
Good overall condition; slight abrasion to the facial details and minor surface wear consistent with age. No visible modern restoration. Stable natural patina.
Provenance:
