• SUPERB PAIR GREEK CANOSAN POTTERY
  SUPERB PAIR GREEK CANOSAN POTTERY EFFIGY DOVESMagna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Canosan colonies, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE. A charming pair of pottery votive doves likely made from the same mold, their white bodies decorated with red geometric motifs. Live doves were used in religious ceremonies in Greco-Roman religions and were associated with the cult of Aphrodite and carved or pottery effigies of birds were often given as offerings - a pair of doves would be a fitting offering for the goddess of love!
