Terracotta Magnets
Terracotta is fired earthenware of grey, buff or reddish color. It has been used since pre-historic times to make sculptures, figurines, vases, tiles and bricks. Etruscans used it to make large sculptures and sarcophagi while the Romans and Greeks mass produced objects for architectural decoration. In Europe, decorative terracotta work flourished periodically, especially during the Italian Renaissance (15th and 16th centuries). Hand cast in Italy. Packaging: Hand-packed with storycard.
