History:

Terracotta jewellery designs in the form of God, human and animal figurines were excavated from the archaeological sites of the Indus Valley Civilization in Mohenjo-Daro .  The artisan learnt  terracotta products from their forefathers to carry forth the legacy of this art.  A big terracotta statue of the mother goddess is the most prominent discovery from Mohenjo-Daro. The 18th-century unglazed terracotta. Which had long been used for preliminary clay models that were then fired, became fashionable as a material for small sculptures including portrait busts.

It was much easier to work than carved materials, and allowed a more spontaneous approach by the artist.[19] Claude Michel (1738–1814), known as Clodion, was an influential pioneer in France.[20] John Michael Rysbrack (1694–1770), a Flemish portrait sculptor working in England, sold his terracotta modelli for larger works in stone, and produced busts only in terracotta.[21] In the next century the French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse made many terracotta pieces,[22] but possibly the most famous is The Abduction of Hippodamia depicting the Greek mythological scene of a centaur kidnapping Hippodamia on her wedding day.
