Talk:Lady of Elche

message: I don't remember whether there was a hole on the back (presumedly to store the ashes of somebody), but I may be confusing it with the Lady of Baza. -- Error 01:06, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I took pictures of the Lady's back and there is a big hole. I plan to upload it one of these years. If you want it earlier, leave me a note. --Error 00:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Hole in the back

message: What this entry does need is a discussion of the emotional importance of the Lady of Elche for the Autonomous Community of Valencia, and the media campaign over her return from Madrid. these issues overshadow the mere archaeological questions. --Wetman 02:54, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Feel free to edit accordingly. Mountolive 06:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd like to know about these controversies too. Perhaps there's an appropriate template that could be added to request work on this page? 87.12.220.88 22:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no mention of a "Lady of Elx' in the professional literature at JSTOR: a search brings nothing up. All notices there are to the Lady of Elche. So the Wikipedia article is headed in a very specific direction from the very start. Moffitt's Art Forgery: The Case of the Lady of Elche received a positive review by Karen D. Vitelli in American Journal of Archaeology 99'.4 (October 1995), p. 755. --Wetman 04:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What this entry needs

message: Is there any relationship between the head dress of the Dama del Elche and Tissot's painting of Sarah and Pharaoh? The bust and Pharaoh both wear the odd looking headdress. The bust was discovered around the same time the painting was made. Are there any respected sources analyzing the possibility the bust inspired the painting?

replies: text: Quite possibly - give us a link to the Tissot & we can see. Johnbod (talk) 22:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure looks like it.  There are at least two Tissot paintings with a similar headdress.  See here and here.  Ecphora (talk) 12:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's another and a statement that Tissot modelled the headress after the Lady of Elche.  Ecphora (talk) 14:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a section and image. Thanks Zulu, KoTDP. Ecphora (talk) 16:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
