Ivory plaque in shape of Kore head
Greek production, 7th – 6th century BC; alt. cm 7; Ivory plaque in shape of Kore head. Eyes characterized by an elongated profile, full lips in a ‘archaic smile’, protruding chin and pointed ears. Hairstyle into bands neatly arranged on the head, and braids falling over shoulders, held by a large band. Necklace with linear strips and 'wolf-tooth' design.
This highly refined and accurately relief exalt the frontal view of the face: the big eyes, the low forehead, the triangular face, and hair falling in neat horizontal bands, belong to the Greek sculptures in Daedalic style (7th century BC), whose stylistic features derive from Syrians and Phoenicians carved ivories. The Dedication of Nikandre or the famous Lady of Auxerre represent a valid comparison, being characterized by the same Orientalizing elements.

PROVENANCE:
Property of a gentleman; acquired by his grandfather in the 1940s; thence by descent.
