Terracotta statuette of an enthroned goddess between two attendants

Cypriot

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

This figurine is one of the most completely preserved of a group of enthroned goddesses from Kition. The seated goddess is flanked at either side by a standing attendant. The group is hollow and was mold-made in three parts; the two separately molded attendants are made to fit very closely against the sides of the goddess' throne. Both figures were joined to the throne at the back before firing.
