Description

A hollow terracotta bust of a bearded man with a band of curled or leaf-like shapes around the head and eyes lowered. The left arm is raised and broken off at the hand, cracks run across the ribbed chest and shoulders, and a tube-like spout projects from the base at the lower right. It is photographed alone against a plain pale background.
