Tanagra Figurines
According to the Museum display:
“Tanagra figurines are mold-cast characters that were produced after the late fourth century BCE. They are most often associated with the Boeotian town of Tanagra (southeast Greece). They were coated with a white slip before firing and were sometimes painted afterwards with watercolor tints. Tanagra figurines generally depict women in everyday costume with common accessories.”
