Abstract

This paper presents the collections history and typological characteristics of a small collection of Laconian lead figurines from the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia currently held in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The collection, which first belonged to Ramsay Traquair, serves as a case study for the applicability of the traditional lead figurine typology to decontextualised artefacts, demonstrating its limitations for assigning precise and accurate dates based on style without the benefit of stratigraphic and contextual evidence. The paper further attests to the value of comprehensively analysing small museum and gallery collections in order to gain more individualised understandings of the figurines within the large Laconian corpus than could be afforded upon excavation. Thus, this study helps to elucidate some of the limitations to the means by which we interpret Laconian material culture as well as to nuance our understanding of Laconian lead figurines by demonstrating the varied capability of the typology and published comparanda in dating and stylistic description.

大维多利亚(加拿大)艺术画廊斯巴达阿尔忒弥斯神庙的铅雕像:类型学问题和收藏历史

本文介绍了目前在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省大维多利亚美术馆收藏的阿尔忒弥斯·奥提亚神庙的一小部分拉科尼亚铅雕像的收藏历史和类型学特征。该系列最初属于Ramsay Traquair，作为传统铅雕像类型学在非语境化人工制品中的适用性的案例研究，展示了其在没有地层和语境证据的情况下根据风格分配精确和准确日期的局限性。本文进一步证明了全面分析小型博物馆和画廊藏品的价值，以便在大型拉科尼亚语料库中获得比挖掘时更个性化的雕像理解。因此，本研究有助于阐明我们解释拉科尼亚物质文化的一些局限性，并通过展示类型学和出版的比较资料在年代和风格描述方面的不同能力来细微差别我们对拉科尼亚铅俑的理解。
