Small clay sculptures represent an exceptional element of pottery finds from medieval archaeological sites. From functional point of view they are considered mainly as children´s toys but also as objects of religious, votive character that may have been sold for a low price at wakes and annual markets. According to their motive they may be divided in several groups: human figures appear as various dolls (female figurines in secular clothes with a headdress called kruseler, monks with cowl, Madonnas and Saints with their attributes in hands, naked little boys – Infant Jesus); animal sculptures feature mainly horses and horses with riders. In spite of a strong heterogeneity one can observe in Moravian medieval pottery figurines standard types appearing all over Central Europe; this fact documents a common period concept as well as a good level of trade in High Middle Ages.
