Small sculptured figures of humans and animals have been found all over the Agora, ranging in date from the earliest occupation of Athens to the end of the Late Roman period. This booklet presents a representative sample of these carvings, ranging from elegant ivory figures of Apollo to small toy horses recovered from children's graves.

Coroplast - Greek maker of terracotta figurines.

Interesting to imagine the Greeks displaying statues on a mantel like we do today lol

Wonder how affordable these statues were. They figured out how to use molds - did ordinary people display these?
