No documents or information of any sort were available concerning the circumstances of her arrival there. Typical, in this respect, is her wig (which could also be Egyptian) and triangular face, while her dress is of the ancient Cretan type. The Daedalic type is characteristic rather of minor arts, almost the only type of art existing during this so-called orientalizing period of Greek art. In any case, the Auxerre lady is composed of parts which lack the unity and harmony which characterize and dominate Greek art after its emancipation. 4 651 Found in a vault in the Museum of Auxerre in 1909. 653 Style: Daedalic Period: Greek Archaic Period Movement: Daedalic type of oriental origin cultivated in the Greek world of the seventh century B.C.
