Featured Another Mysterious Statue

hello guys,here's my another mysterious statue.I have it for years,but i don't know any information about the statue.The only thing that i know is,this is from greek,the past owner said it was 19th century's.so the rest i left to you guys to identified,any thought are welcome,thank you

p.s oh and this is just small statue around 12cm x 3cm

 

from the pose and the size,i'm afraid this is the part of the tomb or grave?

 

It looks like it is supposed to be a caryatid, a Greek pillar in the shape of a person. Like these:



I'm sure someone else can find the proper one for you.
It is extremely small for a statue on a grave.

 

Like Egyptian Ushabti?

 

A very lazy ushabti, folding her arms while the other ushabtis do all the work in the afterlife.

And the winner is.....
Uhm, will be (when S Wolf's statue is found) .... inh!

 

The emphasis on the shapely breasts & buttocks suggests Aphrodite/Venus. See also the Artemis/Diana of Ephesus (Diana Polymastes) and this image of Astarte:

Your girl is from this family of goddesses.

 

So glad she's not all alone in this world.

hey,i think so,nice found!

 

i don't think it so old like this,thanks anyway!

 

And a different style too.

 

so have you any clue about my statue aj?i still have some more mysterious item here,lol..

 

it's the form and especially size that counts as well. after the 1880s excavations they were also done by famous factories like Mougin Nancy. castings done by several foundries around Paris.

 

Oh no!
No, seriously, your mystery items are always welcome.
All I can say of this girl has already been said, I think. I agree with a Greek Goddess, and likely 19th century, made after an original from antiquity. And Bronwen has identified her family.

 

haha..thanks for warm words
