In ancient times, artisans crafted numerous terracotta figurines shaped like perfume bottles, vessels for holding fragrant oils. Manufactured in Rhodes, Samos, or Miletus, these items were widely distributed across the Mediterranean, reaching Italy to the west and the shores of the Black Sea to the north. The most elaborate terracotta sculptures from the Hellenistic era originated in Myrina, a small but insignificant city located between Smyrna and Pergamon. Some of these figurines reflect modern trends in large-scale sculpture, while a few bear the names of their creators on the back. Terracotta sculptures from Hellenistic Cyprus showcase the blend of local and international influences typical of the island at that time.
