ABSTRACT
Art is made to be viewed (Gell 1998: 24), but not everything classified as an artistic representation of the human body was produced for the sake of being art. Images are made both in their own right and as an ornament, adorning objects of different materials and functions. This chapter focuses on the objects as image carriers and considers their materials, production technologies and their place in chaînes opératoires, as well as their functions, uses and depositional contexts.
