The classicizing style of this figure, along with its nineteenth-century provenance from Florence, suggest that it was produced in Italy. On acquisition Longhurst thought this piece to be Italian of the sixteenth century. Although reminiscent of this time, the figure is likely to date from the mid-nineteenth century. The object was formerly in the Possenti Collection at Fabriano.","physicalDescription":"Carved ivory statuette of Diana. The figure bends to the right, the left hand by the side, the right arm (missing) raised. The left shoulder is bare; draperies fall to the knees. She wears a classical dress with narrow pleats, reminiscent of a Greek peplos, with a girdle at her waist and on the legs buskins which leave the feet bare. The ivory is of a fine golden tone; the missing right arm was cut from a separate piece.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ivory","id":"AAT11857"}],"techniques":[{"text":"carving","id":"AAT53149"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Carved ivory","categories":[{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"},{"text":"Myths & Legends","id":"THES49005"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2006AD1298","2017KA0385"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES395354"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Statuette","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Italy","id":"x28927"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1850","earliest":"1845-01-01","latest":"1854-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"very likely; in the style of the mid-sixteenth century"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"24.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Bought from W.A.
