Description
Ca. 400 BC.
A group of terracotta offerings in the form of a bed and four stools. Terracotta models of furniture, such as beds, stools and tables, have been discovered throughout the ancient Greek world with examples from Athens, Boeotia including Tanagra, Myrina and Cyprus. Finds of miniature furniture at religious sanctuaries suggest that some were dedicated as votive models. For a similar example, see G. Richter, The Furniture of the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans, London, 1966, fig. 335-340.
