Extract

In the Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek in Munich (SASuG) there are four marble schematic idols from Schliemann's excavations at Troy. In 1902 these objects together with a large group of other Trojan artefacts (pottery, spindle whorls and small stone objects) were transferred from Berlin to Munich, to the Königliche Vasen-Sammlung (Bertram 1992: 44) now an integral part of SASuG.

From Schmidt's catalogue we know that more schematic stone idols were sent to Munich (Schmidt 1902: 334). Alfred Götze in the subsection “Brettförmige Idole: Aus Stein und Muschel” of this catalogue described several groups of idols. Thirty idols—28 of marble, one of schist(?) and one of limestone—were marked with numbers 7348 to 7377 (Götze 1902: 277 ff.). Among this group predominate idols with engraved features on the face and neck (nine examples), face (seven examples), face, neck and hair (two examples); the others have engraved features on the face and breasts (one example); on the face and a circle with a central point between “shoulders” (one example).
