No Argonian Statuettes?

Just curious to know why there don't seem to be any Argonians depicted in the ESO+ Statuettes.

Do they not do statues to themselves?

Thanks!

    i know but there arent any argonian statues that depict them fully instead of just a head
    so i doubt there'll be argonian statuettes

    IIRC, it's actually part of the lore that Argonians, since the Duskfall era, choose impermanence. The only Argonian statuary would be from pre-Duskfall tribes or possibly from groups that don't associate with mainstream Argonian culture. They believe more in a cyclical view of time where nothing should last forever, so a structure like a statue would go against their beliefs.

    Along with what others have said, the statuettes are mostly of deities.

    Ahh ok, cool.

    So, are there no other Argonian deities apart from Sithis ? I missed this statuette when it was released :(

    Thanks all

    the hist could be seen as deity perhaps
    you can buy a little hist replica furnishing at the shadowfen achievement furniture merchant if you've gotten the zone story achievements

    Nope. Argonians don't really worship as the other races do. If I recall correctly so is there a reference somewhere telling their language Jel doesn't even have a word for worship. They respect the Hist greatly and communicate with them, but it's not worship in the way other races treat the Divines for example. Sithis is one of the few beings that one can consider they worship to some degree, but that was mainly in the time before Duskfall, which was long ago, and now they look at it differently. The stone statuettes they have are pre-Duskfall things.

    They still use the old statues and create new "statues" in a way, but nowadays depictions of things such as themselves, animals, symbolisms etc, is mostly carved, painted or shaped using material that is not meant to last (Because all things change). Such as wood, fabric, hides, remains etc.
