Abstract
It is well known that Greek jointed dolls, intended as female articulated figurines either dressed in chiton or naked, standing or in a sitting position, have been found in a variety of contexts in Greece, mainly in Corinth and Athens and their areas of influence. On the contrary, these terracotta articulated figurines are usually reported as rare in Greek Sicily. This paper aims to verify whether this assessment is to be held true or instead is due to a basic knowledge of archaeological contexts in Greek Sicily, some crucial of whom have remained unpublished or are known merely in preliminary reports. As the present Author has started scrutinizing storerooms and museums in search of ‘dolls’ in Sicily, the paper wishes to present the first results of the ongoing research.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
