A GREEK TERRACOTTA FIGURE

Hand-made terracotta figurines depicting man and women engaged in their daily activities were widely produced in Boeotia, mainly for the local market and were often left in tombs, cf. R. A. Higgins, Greek Terracottas, London, 1967, p. 77. Another similar example depicting a woman bathing in a schematic style was found in Rhodes and dated to the mid-5th Century B.C., cf. R. A. Higgins, Terracottas in the British Museum, London, 1969, p. 88, no. 236.
