Miniature models of theatrical masks were produced in great quantity in the ancient world, and they could be linked with the Dionysiac mysteries, in association with funeral rites, illustrating the Dionysiac thiasos, the orgiastic world of Satyrs and Maenads. However they can also be miniatures models of masks stylistically and technically very homogeneous, linked with the highbrow Sophoclean and Euripidean tragedy, or with so-called Middle Comedy.
