Mira's dancer's terracotta statue

Mira's dancer's terracotta statue

It is a red clay statue from ancient Greece, currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Created by Athenian potters around 350 BC. It depicts a dancer dressed in a transparent robe, whose theme shares similarities with statues created by other studios in the Hellenistic world at that time (330-31 BC). Early sculptures of this kind were sometimes believed to depict Nymphs (related to the god Pan), but they were also considered mortal, meaning future brides who participated in the sacred wedding dance.

Sleeping Tagra Girl Sculpture

It is a replica of an ancient Greek style terracotta statue, originally created by an ancient Greek artist between the late 5th century BC and the 3rd century BC, and now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. These statues are known for their naturalistic features, preserved pigments, diversity, and charm, and are commonly referred to as Tanagra statues, named after the large number of such statues discovered in the ancient city of Tagra in the state of Viotia in central Greece. Most of them depict fashionable women or girls elegantly wrapped in sheer cloaks, sometimes wearing wide brimmed hats, holding flower garlands or fans.
