Abstract
"Traits of Greek Archaic art constantly reappear in works of the late fifth century and the fourth century B.C., in the Hellenistic Age and in the Roman period. The terms "archaistic" and "archaizing" are understood to include a wide range of works which incorporate features inspired by the Archaic or intended to suggest it. Scholarly literature has been devoted overwhelmingly to the elegant poses and stylized drapery of the Neo-Attic reliefs; however, late Hellenistic archaizing art combines Neo-Attic motifs and a more general group of works which reflect Archaic elements, these often eclectically combined with fifth-century B.C. and early Hellenistic types. The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia possesses a unique example of late Hellenistic archaizing -- a terracotta shield with figures in relief."--First paragraph.
