  • Figurines. Figuration and The Sense of Scale. Oxford University Press, 2020. 208p. Hardback. Series: Visual Conversations in Art and Archaeology Series. Elsner's book should be used ... as a springboard for scholars and students to experiment with, pushing themselves to articulate and theorize their own approach to figurines, miniaturization, scale, and animation in their respective fields of study, and to conceive of figurines as semiotic icons in playful, creative ways. Scholars and students of art history, archaeology, and the study of material culture, will therefore find this book potent with questions that may inspire innovative studies in their own regions, cultures, and periods of specialty.
