古代历史（稀有古代文物）

这是一件陈古的塞浦路斯陶土献祭人像， depicts standing human figure with both arms raised upwards and outwards. This characteristic gesture of prayer or adoration gives the figure a distinctly ritual appearance.

Archaic Cypriot terracotta votive figure depicting a standing human figure with both arms raised upwards and outwards. This characteristic gesture of prayer or adoration gives the figure a distinctly ritual appearance.

The body is highly stylised and columnar in form. The elongated torso widens slightly towards the flat base, while both arms extend sideways and curve upwards. Particular emphasis is placed on the modelling of the hands or terminal sections of the arms.

The head is set on a long neck and displays the reduced and expressive modelling characteristic of Archaic Cypriot terracottas. The face is dominated by a strongly projecting nose and schematically modelled facial features. The tall, widening upper section of the head may represent a stylised headdress or polos-like head covering. A separately modelled ear is visible at the side.

The reverse is considerably flatter and more simply worked than the front, indicating that the figure was intended primarily for frontal viewing.

Terracotta figures of this type were deposited in large numbers in Cypriot sanctuaries and sacred precincts. Figures with raised arms are generally interpreted as worshippers or participants in ritual activity, with the gesture possibly expressing prayer, invocation, or devotion to a deity. Such figures formed an important part of the Cypriot tradition of figurative votive offerings.

Made from light reddish-orange terracotta. The surface displays pronounced earthy and mineral encrustations, whitish-beige deposits, and age-related wear. The deliberately simplified modelling and preserved surface deposits give the figure a distinctly archaic appearance.

Age-related surface wear, minor chips and encrustations. The figure is overall substantially preserved. One arm shows an old break or joining line towards the outer section. Please refer to the photographs for the exact condition.

Provenance:
Formerly in the Madeleine & Erich Dammann Collection, Germany. Acquired during the owners' extensive travels between 1950 and 1970. The collection has been documented in Germany since 1970 and remained in continuous family ownership thereafter. As was customary for private purchases made in local markets during the 1950s–1970s, purchase receipts or invoices were generally neither issued nor requested. The provenance is documented through continuous family ownership, historical photographs, and supporting biographical records.
