These are from my own collection.
A group of Archaic Greek terracotta votive objects. Probably Corinthian.
This group comes from an old collection and were most likely excavated together: that's what the previous owner had been told.
Such votives are associated with sanctuaries devoted to Demeter and her daughter Kore , otherwise known as Persephone.
Demeter was the goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth.

Protome of Demeter. 80mm x 56mm £395
