content: Standing Goddess, Boeotian, Early 6th Cent. BC. The Standing Goddess figures are the most common type of archaic Boeotian terracotta. They are depicted occasionally with a woman's face but more often she is bird-like with a marked affinity to the Mycenaean goddesses of six hundred years before. The stripes on the figure were fired and are better suited to resist the wear and tear of time. (Chesterman, James. Classical Terracotta Figures. Ward Lock, London, 1974, p. 35-36, fig. 22)
