Description

Fragment of the body of an Arretine ware vessel. There are three vertical registers or panels separated by lines of raised, round dots. The panel on the left features a small lion mid-stride, with the feet not touching any register lines. Above his head is a fragment of a roundel. The middle panel has a narrow, vertical vegetal design. The panel to the right depicts a head with hair down to just below the ears, perhaps a theater mask. The figure appears to be frowning. Wheel marks are still visible beneath the decorations and on the inside of the fragment.
