Oldtidens Hellas, mykensk Terracotta Tanagra stående kvinnefigur med TL-test, 18,5 cm - Spansk eksportlisens - Figur

At the end of the 4th century BC, a style of clay modelling developed in the city of the same name, known as the “Tanagra style”.

In these figures the classical composition of the body disappears. One leg is placed slightly to the side, either backwards or forwards. The arms no longer hang rigidly next to the body, as in the archaic or classical period, but lie on the belly, chest or back, or rest on the hip. They rarely carry other attributes and instead wear their arms and hands wrapped in the knob, which can also cover the head and even almost completely conceal the face.
