Terracottas

Terracottas are the oldest antiquities retrieved through the archaeological excavations. (Right from the nonwheeled cart of-the Mohenjodaro down to the Barapali wheeled toy much changes have been brought in the human history, but still the village potter fashions in different shapes on the wheel which more or less remained unchanged.) The offering of votive horses & elephants to the village deities is a common phenomenon of rural Odisha. We have in our collection are Pancha Tulasichaura, Tulsichaura, with folk relief works over it collected from Khandagiri area.
