Context:

The term votive refers to sculpture or other images or offerings donated by an individual for a public place, especially in gratitude for deliverance from distress.

Votive sculpture sometimes served as a stand-in for the donor, taking the place of the real person at a temple or shrine. However, Greek sculptors in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. greatly enhanced the actual appearance of prominent people in their sculptures by avoiding signs of aging and emotion. Such marks were restricted to socially less acceptable figures like satyrs, slaves, or enemies. Portraits were not real likenesses, but rather ideal social stereotypes transmitted by the sculptor.
