ETRUSCAN CERAMIC VOTIVE FOOT 4TH-3RD CENTURY B.C. 7 1/2 in. (351 grams, 19 cm). Comprising the outer part of a right foot with elongated toes and anatomical detailing, base of a sandal visible on the outer edge. PROVENANCE: Acquired in Germany before 2000. English private collection. LITERATURE: Cf. Oberhelman, S.M., ‘Anatomical Votive Reliefs as Evidence for specialization at Healing Sanctuaries in the Ancient Mediterranean World’ in Athens Journal of Health – Volume I, Issue I, pp.47-62, 2014, figs.5,7. FOOTNOTES: This object belongs to impasto ceramics of red-brown typology, and it was probably an unfinished votive foot. It could have been part of a medium-size statuette, or an anatomical ex voto related to a temple deposit, linked with a health divinity. We have parallels in Veii, Vulci and in the whole of the Latial area. CONDITION
