This well-modelled Parian figure shows the lyric female poet Sappho seated on rockwork. Sappho was from the Greek island of Lesbos and lived around 600 BC. Most of her work has been lost and what remains is often of a fragmentary nature.
Height 50cm (19.7”), base 29cm (11.5”) wide
Condition: Very good. The end of the stylus (writing tool) has been restored but otherwise the statue is in excellent condition.
