Having considered the main types of Sogdian terracotta figurines of the 3rd century BC — 5th century AD the author has come to a conclusion that there was a certain influence of the images of Greek terracotta art upon them. However, this impact upon Sogdiana was mediated by “transit” cultural regions — Mesopotamia, Margiana and Bactria.
