Ca. 300-200 BCA well-formed hollow-cast terracotta female figure with delicately modelled face, and finely arranged coiffure. The figure is positioned in a dynamic pose, on a flat, circular base. She elegantly holds a fan in her right hand. Figures such as this are an iconic subject of Tanagra modellers (also known as coroplasts), in which women were usually depicted in scenes of thought and reflection. Unlike Tanagra figures of the earlier Classical period, these female figures do not represent goddesses, rather they project mortal, ordinary women. These figures were likely used as votive figures, placed in burials, or even kept as a decorative adornment to one's home.
