Early 4th century BC. A standing bust of the goddess Demeter, represented with the arms alongside the torso, dressed in a peplos and a himation, a veil covers the back of the head and falls in symmetrical zigzags on the arms. See for discussion Tzanavari K., Protomes de terre cuite de l'antique Lete (Mygdonie), in Muller, A., Lafli R. (dir.), St. Huysecom-Haxhi (coll.), Figurines de terre cuite en Mediterrannee grecque et romaine, II, Iconographie et contextes, Vileneuve d'Asq, 2015, pp.165-179. 71 grams, 93cm (3 1/2"). From a private Netherlands collection; previously in an old collection since before 1980. This figure seems to belong to classification Ab of the Tzanavari typology, and dates to the middle of the 4th century BC, with the head slightly tilted, the oval face ending in a square chin, hair covered with kalyptra (veil), and ears decorated with disc-shaped earrings.
