« Back to Glossary Index

from Tanagra, (late fourth or third century B.C.). Wrapped in a voluminous cloak (himation), with a fan in her left hand, and her hair centrally parted and gathered in a chignon at the back of her head, she is the height of early Hellenistic fashion. Such figurines were highly popular trinkets at the time. (Boardman, 1986)
