content: This type of bust, called a protome, was made by pressing a thin layer of terracotta into a single mould. The earliest known examples were made in the Greek East, especially on the island of Rhodes, but from the early fifth century BC onwards they were also made at Tanagra and elsewhere in mainland Greece.
