APC Image: AK 0932Figurines from Sanctuary deposit. Most of the terracotta fragments show signs of buring. There is a great variety among the figurines, but all the types are suitable as dedications in a Sanctuary of Eros and Aphrodite. Most of them represent boys, but some appear to be draped female figures. Two of the male figures are represented as playing the double flute (last two on the bottom row in this photo). The figures were covered with an opaque white paint on which other colors were applied.
