Cypriot Terracotta Fragment of a Figurine
A Cypriot terracotta fragment of a votive figurine. The figure is depicted with its arms raised and is wearing a headdress, which is crossed at the back of its head, just above its ears. The figure’s stylised face is oval and an applied piece of clay with a horizontal indentation across the centre forms a prominent nose and mouth. The left ear has been made from an applied pinch of clay. Some red and black pigments remain on the surface, suggesting that it may have been further decorated.

Sumerian Limestone Fragment of a Head
A finely carved Sumerian limestone fragment of a head featuring a domed shape. The piece is decorated with undulating incisions radiating from the crown of the head, possibly depicting hair strands or an elaborate headpiece. Unfortunately the face is no longer visible due to the fragmentary condition; however, there are two circular indentations to the front, probably representing the eyes which would have once been inlaid with shell or stones. A further square indentation below the eyes suggests the piece might once have been attached to a larger statue or composition.
The piece is supplied with a custom-made stand.

Greco-Roman Terracotta Head Fragment

The piece is accompanied by a custom display stand.
