Figurine of a mourning woman; these were placed in tombs.

Mask of a Satyr.

Above, Adonis altar. Below, heads.

    My photo of Terra Cotta votive heads at Santa Maria Della Scala, Siena. (National Archaeological museum). Unfortunately they don't have much online. Link: https://twitter.com/reifdoogan/status/668030324404838400
