    Hi All,

    Is anyone familiar with this type of terracotta figurine? From my research, it does seem similar to the 2nd Century BCE Tanagra type of figurines from Greece and the surrounding coasts, but I have not seen those depict this type of scene (perhaps from a theatrical play of the time?). It's approximately 8 inches tall and is housed in an 18th Century Italian framed shadow box.

    TIA,
    Biju
