Terra Sienna is a dense clay that was used as a pigment. It is a yellow in color, but turns red when fired at 900 degrees. It appears in abundance in the vicinity of copper mines but occurs in other regions as well. On the basis of observations and experimental studies by Rauf Ersenal, both Terra Sienna and Terra Umbra were used in the Archaic period to paint red motifs, with Terra Sienna being the less common of the two. This pigment seems to have been applied on a wet surface. When applied onto a dry surface, the paint is soon worn out and lost.
