‘By the late 5^th and the 4^th centuries [bce], the range [of terracottas]* include many subjects which, paradoxically, large-scale sculpture ignored until the Hellenistic period,** such as actors*** (especially comic actors),**** and genre figures of dancers# and women#* gossiping or about their business – types that look forward to the Tanagra and Myrina figures of the Hellenistic period.’
