Terracotta doll and tower
1st century AD
MArTA - Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Taranto
Taranto, Italy
Toys recalling the theme of war, often imitated by children. The presence of colour only on the face and movable limbs of the doll suggests that it originally wore cloth or leather garments, while the presence of holes on the base of the tower and on some of the battlements suggests the existence of interlocking decorative elements.
