Terracotta figure, Cypro-Archaic II, ca. 600–480 B.C., Cypriot, Terracotta; hand-made, H. 4 1/16 in. (10.3 cm), Terracottas, Man or monkey? The distinction is minimal in this spontaneous, engaging work. Seated with one foot over the other, the figure is eating or smelling what is probably a piece of fruit. Although Cypriot terracottas are often summarily executed, they clearly represent a medium that was used to capture a momentary or unusual subject, just as today we might make a snapshot or rapid sketch
