description Eighty terracotta figurines from the 2013 discovery at Vendeuil-Caply are exhibited for the first time in the Musée archéologique de l’Oise, located near the archaeological site of Vendeuil-Caply. This exhibition Figures de la terre (fig. 1), which runs until November 2015, is the result of a collaboration with 11 French museums and presents in total more than 100 objects that explore the typological variety and the aesthetic character of the Gallo-Roman figurines of northern Gaul. Included in the exhibition is Marchande de statuettes à Pompéi, a 19th-century painting by the neo-classical painter Henry-Pierre Picou that effectively illustrates a commercial context for Roman figurines.
