Figurines, Figures, and Anthropomorphic and Zoomorphic Vases
from Part VII - Aegean Art of the Mainland Mycenaean Palatial Period
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2022
Figurines in bronze or ivory are rare during the period of the Mycenaean palaces. On the other hand, terracotta figures and figurines undergo considerable development and become one of the characteristic features of Mycenaean culture (seminal article by E. French, BSA 66, 1971, 101–87; see also Schallin 2009). Often very schematic, they are made in potters’ workshops and their decoration takes inspiration from that of pottery. Two categories can be distinguished based on technique and dimensions: small figurines that are handmade; and larger figures that are wheelmade or built up in coils.
