Statuetta di danzatrice velata e mascherata

3rd–2nd century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 163
Il complesso movimento di questa danzatrice viene suggerito esclusivamente dall’interazione del corpo con i diversi strati dell’abito. La figura indossa un leggero mantello, teso dai movimenti del braccio destro, della mano sinistra e della gamba destra, che poggia sopra una veste dal ricco drappeggio formando una sorta di strascico. Il viso della donna è nascosto da un velo sottilissimo. Al piede destro che sporge porta una scarpetta con lacci. Questa danzatrice è stata identificata con una di quelle artiste professioniste, sia mimo che ballerina, per cui l’antica e cosmopolita città di Alessandria era famosa.
