Lot 1665 | Groteske Terrakottafigur, Canosa, Unteritalien, 4. - 3. Jahrhundert vor Christus
Groteske Figur mit Theatermaske in rosa Gewand. Das mit dem Umhang bedeckte Haupt ist nach links geneigt. Die linke Hand hält den fülligen Unterleib, der dem Bauch einer Hochschwangeren nachempfunden ist. Ebenso ist die Stellung der Beine, denn die Gestalt sitzt mit gespreizten Beinen auf einem Felsen. Allerdings lugen unter dem kurzen Gewand die groß dimensionierten männlichen Geschlechtsteile hervor. Zusätzlich hervorgehoben sind sie durch den Umstand, dass am Penis eine Gans pickt. Gans und Gewand (in Vorderansicht) sind rosa gefärbt, der Rest besitzt einen weißen Überzug. Wunderbar groteske Darstellung einer komischen Theaterfigur. Die außergewöhnliche Gestaltung und die Unversehrtheit des Objekts machen es zu einem bedeutenden Zeugnis griechischer Komödien- und Theaterkultur. Intakt. Höhe 11,5 cm. Provenienz: Aus in Deutschland verwahrter Privatsammlung. Erworben in den 1990er Jahren im englischen Kunsthandel. Zustand: II
Place of origin:Ancient Greece
