39 Seated Woman, possibly a goddess

3D Model

Item held in the Combined Classics Library at the Institute of Classical Studies in London, part of the collection donated by Victor Ehrenberg.

Possibly Late Roman, 4th Century AD, marked as terracotta. Material on catalogue mentions terracotta, however, by analysis of color in the hollow space it looks like white clay or limestone, possibly from the Middle East.

Measuraments are 13.5cm height with base of equal 4x4 cm.

Bought at auction at Sotheby in December 1957.
