These are from my own collection. I've had therm a very long time.

A group of Archaic Greek terracotta  votive objects. Probably Corinthian.

This group comes from an old collection and were most likely excavated together: that's what the previous owner had been told.

Such votives are associated with sanctuaries devoted to Demeter and her daughter Kore , otherwise known as Persephone.

Demeter was the goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth.
