The lekythos, a small vase with slender neck and one handle, used for unguents and perfumes. TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES, RELIEFS, ETC. The use of terra-cotta for small figures and for archi- tectural decorations, as well as for certain utensils, was not limited to any one age. After the clay had been Digitized by VjOOQIC INTRODUCTION ii properly kneadedj^ in ea...rly times it was shaped by hand; later it was pressed into a mould, and on the object thus obtained details were added or modified or defined at the will of the maker. The object was then baked, and finally colors were applied to the surface. The most interesting terra-cottas which remain to us are the figurines, rude, small figures probably representing gods from the later pre-historic period, groups of single figures in the occupa- tions of daily life from the beginning of the fifth century, and the wonderfully graceful figurines from the graves of Tanagra, Asia Minor, and southern Italy, which date from the third and second centuries B.C.
