Plaques/Reliefs
This category includes representations of humans or animals in 2D which may have been attached to a wall.
Representations of humans or animals in almost 2D which are hand modeled or mold-pressed and may have been attached to a wall. These are separated from Figurines because they are square or rectangular in shape, carved in low relief, contain more than one subject, are part of a larger scene, or depict some type of action.
