Description

UMBRO-SABELLIAN FIGURINES Central Italy, Umbria, 4th-3rd century BC. Group of fifteen (15) Umbro-Sabellian votive idols depicted as stylised human figures. In some, male sexual attributes are recognisable, while most present a more stylised appearance. Heights: from 28.50 to 13 mm. Few damages. Lovely intense brown patina. The stylised legs ending in points suggest that these idols were embedded in the ground. Some of them instead present a hole, as if their function was to be fixed to a wooden support. Cfr: Colonna 1970, p. 102.
