Figurines
This category includes objects that are representations of humans or animals that are in 3D and may have been free standing.
Representations of humans or animals in 3D which are hand modeled or mold-pressed and may have been free standing. These are separated from Plaques and Reliefs because they contain one main subject, no border, a plain background, are in high relief, and depict a stationary individual, either standing or sitting.
