Small sculptured figures of people and animals were discovered all around the Agora, ranging in date from the earliest profession of Athens to the top of the overdue Roman interval. This publication provides a consultant pattern of those carvings, starting from dependent ivory figures of Apollo to small toy horses recovered from kid's graves. Illustrated in black and white with virtually eighty photos.
