This book focuses on describing terracotta figurines in shapes of humans and animals found on the Nabataean sites in South Jordan and Palestine and provides a detailed catalogue with respect totheir shape, ware, possible date, technique of production, meaning and function, to provide important information about the Nabataean culture.
