32706

Archaeology Museum of Akhisar, the heir to the ancient Thyateria, is a two-storey building constructed in 1932 and partly used as a teachers’ house, and it was later restored and opened as a museum in 2012. A group of artefacts which was preserved in the Manisa Archaeology Museum before has been exhibited in the Archaeology Museum of Akhisar since its opening. Among those artefacts, there are terracotta figurines dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In this paper, these figurines are examined in terms of technical, iconographical and stylistic aspects and although there isn’t any detailed information about the exact spots where they have been excavated, this paper attempts to provide some suggestions about their function
