Terracotta figurines and small sculptures on shelves
Description
Roughly two dozen small figures and heads stand on a stepped arrangement of pedestals against a dark backdrop. Standing draped female figures, seated figures, an embracing pair and several heads and animal shapes are spread across the rows. Most are pale, with worn surfaces and some small painted or incised details. Each piece sits on its own plain block base.
