Abstract

In 1899 E. Oldfield, Librarian and Fellow of Worcester College, gave a small altar to the Ashmolean Museum, where it joined an already growing collection of fine terracottas. Little is known about its history and how it came into the possession of the donor. Taranto, where such small altars occur most frequently, was thought to be their place of origin, though they have also been found in Greece and Asia Minor, mainly in Hellenistic contexts.
