Summary

The power of miniatures to reshape social life is the topic of Chapter 3, which examines spectatorship of figurines depicting mothers with children, couples, and musician groups. The visual portrayal and tactile accessibility of these miniaturized “relationships,” as well as the absence of other social relationships in the figurine corpus, established expectations and limits on acceptable social structures.
