Description of Designated List Category Subject to Import Restrictions:
Cypro-Geometric to Cypro-Archaic figurines show a greater diversity of form than earlier figurines. Female figurines are still common but forms also include male horse-and-rider figurines, warrior figures, animals such as birds, bulls and pigs, tubular figurines, boat models, and human masks. In the Cypro-Archaic period, terra cotta models illustrate a variety of daily activities including the process of making pottery and grinding grain. Other examples include musicians and men in chariots.
