Miniature masks inspired by the theatre of Magna Graecia - the area in southern Italy which had been extensively colonised by the Greeks, who brought their religious and cultural lives with them, including drama with all its rituals and hallmarks.
Lightweight, suitable for hanging, for perching on a little stand, or just to look pretty on a table surface.
miniature terracotta theatrical mask for a female character
Height: 8cm
Width: 7cm
Depth to wall if hung: 3.5cm(not including the vases in raised relie f)Made in Italy for It's All Greek by 'Ithaca: arte in terracotta', way back in 2010. (The name is, naturally, what attracted me to this little company in the first place!)
This is the limited residual stock, which I am putting up online now (June 2026) - reluctantly, because they are so lovely and very cute! When they're gone, they're gone.
On the back, you will find embedded: 'Ithaca', and if there is room, 'arte in terracotta' and 'fatto a mano a Venezia'.
The pieces are fired to 1000 degrees, are lightweight, and can be placed outside.
