Psi and phi type figurine

Tau-, Psi- and phi- type Greek terracotta figurines date back to 1450–1100 BC in Mycenaean Greece.

They were typically small (about 10cm high), made of terracotta, and were found in tombs, shrines and settlement areas.

They are classified by their shape and a resemblance to the Greek letters of tau (τ), psi (ψ) and phi (Φ), according to a typological system created by Arne Furumark in 1941.

[1] Their function/purpose is unknown, although it has been suggested that their purpose changed with the context in which they were found.
