terracotta figures
Earthenware human forms
Terracotta figures are sculptures made from baked clay, typically reddish-brown in color.
The term most often evokes the Terracotta Army—thousands of life-sized warrior statues buried with China's first emperor around 210 BCE.
More broadly, terracotta figures include any clay sculptures fired at low temperatures, from ancient Greek figurines to garden statuary.
