Greek Terracotta, two women perhaps Demeter and Persephone, c.100 BC

The women sit on a couch and lean towards each other. There is a footstool for the younger looking woman who is wrapped in a himation over her chiton: the older woman leans back with her left hand across her right breast. Traces of original colour.

 

Perhaps from Myrina (Aiolis, Asia Minor) acquired 1885
