"Tanagra and the Figurines reveals much new information concerning the rediscovery of the Tanagras; it examines the types of graves in which the figurines were found, and establishes a stylistic chronology. Dr. Higgines also explores the purposes for which they may have been made, the way in which they were modelled or moulded, and then painted, the many kinds of figurines and what they represent. All were found in graves but it is likely that there would have ben similar figures in private houses and sanctuaries. The book also assesses the impact on the artistic world of the Tanagra figurines."- dust jacket.
