I’m pretty sure the figurine doesn’t actually come from the mold, but it’s a pretty interesting example, and they were right next to each other in the Louvre catalogue…[ID: Two images; the first is a ceramic mold that would be used to create a figurine of a pigeon out of clay. The second image is a clay pigeon of the kind that might be popped out of a mold like what’s above it.] -- source link
