Abstract<\/strong>: The present study examines two bronze statuettes, two bases, and a bust-shaped scale weight recovered together from a structure identified as a glass workshop, located north of the Plakoma\/Agora in Andriake, the port of Myra. The presence of scale sets among the finds indicates that the premises also functioned as a commercial shop. The discussed assemblage consists of a statuette of Aphrodite and an ithyphallic dwarf\/pygmy, along with two bases of different forms and a scale weight in the shape of Silenos. Evaluations based on analogy and stylistic analysis reveal that the finds date to the Roman Imperial Period. The discovery of these statuettes in a context associated with both glass production and probable commercial transactions is of significant importance, as it demonstrates the manifestation of religious beliefs within commercial spheres and reflects the cultural fabric of the period.<\/p>\n
