Description
The Romans were known for their terracotta figurines, which generally served a religious or ceremonial purpose, and were placed in household shrines or temples. If you look closely at the surface of the figurine’s back, you will notice tiny pinholes from where the sculptor inserted little spikes to create a detailed and naturalistic representation of a hedgehog.
