Daedalic female protome, 7th-6th century BC . Protome (Greek προτομή) is an adornment on utensils or works of art in the form of a frontal view of an animal head or bust of a human. Protomes are often featured in ancient art. Daedalic seems to refer to a style in Greek sculpture, I found: “Daedalic (after Daedalus, a legendary founder of the art). Its style is based on a simple formula which remained dominant, though with evolutionary modifications, for about two generations, before evolving into the Archaic style.
The principal view is frontal, so much so that in statues the side elevation can be compressed unnaturally and in reliefs full-face heads are common - in notable contrast to the rule in contemporary vase painting and in the succeeding stage of Archaic sculpture. The face is a long triangle with a low horizontal forehead, big eyes and nose, and initially a straightish mouth. The cranium too is low; the ears either are omitted or project at right angles; and the hair (rather like a full-bottomed wig) falls in solid masses at the front and back, relieved by horizontal grooving and sometimes a row of curls over the forehead, or less often it is divided into thick vertical locks.“
