Of particular interest in display cases 47 and 48 is the exhibition of clay molds of various shapes, alongside their recent reproductions: these are evidence of mass production that must have taken place in local pottery workshops, some of which have been identified near the fifth gate of the Greek city walls, in the immediate vicinity of the sanctuary in question; among them are those depicting Medusa and Heracles with the Erymanthian boar in the presence of Eurystheus, who can be glimpsed, frightened, inside a pithos.
