An
introduction to terracotta
Terracotta is a ceramic material that has been used for
building construction and decorative arts since ancient
times in cultures around the world. Terracotta, which

clay, which gives it a characteristic reddish-brown

material, and many ancient terracotta sculptures are
still in excellent shape.
