Coroplastic

/ˌkɔːroʊˈplæstɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the art or craft of making terracotta figurines, or describing objects produced by coroplasts.

Etymology

From coroplast + -ic (Greek suffix). Developed in archaeological terminology to describe the style and category of ancient clay objects.

Kelly Says

When archaeologists find a trove of ancient Greek clay toys and figurines, they label them as 'coroplastic art'—it's an entire art form we often overlook because we think of ancient Greece as all marble statues!
