| Description |
Italy, Greece, Isia Minor (Turkey) Clay, 5h century BC - 1st century AD Clay figurines of humans, gods and mythical beigns are found in almost all ancient contexts: in houses, sanctuaries and graves. Equally universal is their employment as votive offerings, burial objects, toys and domestic equipment. Figurines with erotic or sexual connotation often come from the Dynosian sphere of the theatre, especially comedy. They are also common as votice offerings to the goddess of love Aphrodite. As burial objects in children's graves they point toward the missed wedding. Some figurines, such as the group of Amor and Psyche, are to be seen as reflections of famous large scale marble or bronze sculptures. |
