Summary edit
| Description |
English: Greek and Roman Terracotta Figurines from Italy, Greece and Asia Minor. 5th century BC - 1rst century AC. Figurines with erotic or sexual connotation often come from the Dionysian sphere or the theatre, especially comedy. They are also common as votive offerings to the goddess of love Aphrodite. As burial objects in children's graves they symbolize the missed wedding. Some figurines, such as the group of Amor and Psyche, are to be seen as reflections of famous large scale marble or bronze sculptures.
Deutsch: Griechische und römische Terrakotten aus Italien, Griechenland und Kleinasien. 5. Jhd. v. Chr. bis 1. Jhd. n. Chr. Statuetten mit erotischem oder sexuellem Inhalt stammen häufig aus der Spähre des Dyonisos und des Theaters, insbesondere der Komödie. Auch als Weihegaben an die Liebesgöttin Aphrodite sind sie gängig. Als Beigaben in Kindergräbern verweisen sie auf die nicht erlebte Hochzeit. Manche Statuette wie die Gruppe von Amor und Psyche sind Reflexe berühmter Skulpturen in Marmor oder Bronze. |
