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.

Demeter seated, wearing chiton, himation, and a stephane. 86mm

Demeter standing. 113mm

Protome of Demeter. 80mm x 56mm

Dove of Demeter. 80mm

Cockerel of Kore. (Persphone). (She was Demeter's daughter)  85mm

Winged sphinx (hindquarters missing of course) . 85mm x 55mm

Reclining youthful banqueter. 67m x 60mm

Archaic Greek
6th - 5th century BC

Ex my own collection. Acquired in London over 35 years ago.

I really feel  they should remain together as a group; I do not want to sell any individually.


Very useful and interesting resource ((though Classical, Hellenistic and Roman, not Archaic) :
