Lot 772 | Thronende Göttin, Terrakotta, Griechenland, 6. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 1 600
A Greek archaic funerary stele of a warrior, 1st half - mid-6th century B.C.
Upper part of an exceptional, well preserved marble stele with the head of a spear bearer (doryphoros) facing the right. The motionless pose in profile is typical of the Greek Archaic period, as is the frontal representation of the almond-shaped eye. His long hair of broad, slightly wavy strands is held in place by a narrow hair band. Divided into horizontal sections at the nape. A part of the lance shaft has survived below the chin. The fragment of a marble stele is broken at the bottom, the back and sides sanded down. Slight knocks, especially in the area of the chin, due to the age. The tip of the nose chipped. No additions. Dimensions 36 x 45 x 11.5 cm.
The fragment was part of a tall, narrow stele that was originally erected on the grave of the deceased, in which he was idealised as a warrior or athlete. Comparable to a similar, probably slightly younger stele in the National Museum of Athens (7901), the background here was also coloured red.

Provenance: From the collection of a South German classical philologist, acquired by him during the 1950s and 1960s. Remaining thereafter in the family estate.

Condition: II
Archaische Grabstele eines Kriegers, Griechenland, 1. Hälfte - Mitte 6. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Oberteil einer Marmorstele mit dem nach rechts gerichteten Kopf eines Speerträgers (doryphoros). Die regungslose Darstellung im Profil ist typisch für die griechische Archaik, ebenso wie etwa das frontal wiedergegebene mandelförmige Auge. Das lange Haar aus breiten, leicht gewellten Strähnen wird durch ein schmales Haarband gehalten. Im Nacken ist es horizontal gegliedert. Unterhalb des Kinns hat sich ein Teil des Lanzenschaftes erhalten.
Die Marmorstele unten gebrochen, Rückseite und Seitenflächen geglättet. Leichte Bestoßungen vor allem im Kinnbereich. Chip an der Nasenspitze. Ohne Ergänzungen. Maße 36 x 45 x 11,5 cm.
Das Fragment war Teil einer hohen, schmalen Stele, die ursprünglich auf dem Grab des Verstorbenen errichtet wurde und in der dieser idealisiert als Krieger oder Athlet dargestellt war. Wie bei einer ähnlichen, wohl leicht jüngeren Stele im Nationalmuseum Athen (7901) war auch hier der Hintergrund rot gefärbt.

Provenienz: Aus der Sammlung eines süddeutschen Altphilologen, von diesem erworben in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren. Dann weiter in Familienbesitz.
