拍品專文

Starting in the 5th century B.C., votive offerings in terracotta gained increasing popularity throughout Etruria, southern Latium and northern Campania. Often such votives depicted parts of the human anatomy for dedications of healing or fertility. More often votives took the form of a human head or bust, as a representative of the whole person. More rarely the full human form, like the present example, was depicted.
