Certain sculptures were used for decorative purposes, but others were used as a form of communication. For example, a statue of an emperor or general would always tell the viewer something about him. This was done by what he was wearing, what, if anything he had on his head, what he was holding in his hand. These symbols acted as advertisements for the person's accomplishments or his position in society.
