Abstract
The statuette1 recovered from a context where a group of coins was also unearthed gives us an opportunity to study the art of sculpture in the round to which little attention has been given so far in Anatolia. According to the coins found together with it, the statuette should be dated later titan the 1 st Century B.C. Its casling technicjue and attribııtes would also confirm this date. ' I would like to tlıank the Director of the excavation, Prof. Dr. Nimet özgüç, who kindly permits me to publish this statuette. 2 Charbonneaux, Greek Bronzes, p. 127. 3 Lamb, Greek and Roman Bronzes, p. 195. ■* N. Baydur, Kayseri Tarihi, p. 117. 3 Lamb, Ibid., p. 195. 11 N. Baydur, Ibid., p. 123. Statuette-s made of various materials form a separate volüme in Greek art. They, in particular the small bronze ones, are seen diffused över a vast area and have been recovered abundantly. Unfortunately, researehes and inves- tigations until now have not shown us a produetion çenter2 either in ^Vest, Central, or South Anatolia. From the 3rd Century B.C. onwards Pergamon becomes an important artistic çenter3 in Anatolia with its own school of ınarble sculpture. A similar school of sculpture in cast bronze scems likely. However, only future explorations will clarify this situation.
