Description
Content (description)
Three females, loosely draped and with their hair coiled in plaits, stand back to back, each with an arm raised to steady a great bowl, which rests on their heads. Lizards run round the body of the bowl beneath its lip, on which is a horned mask with two entwined lizards hanging below. The bowl has a domed lid which is covered in fleur-de-lis in lozenges. The females stand on a shallow base, which has concave sides. There is a ram's head at each corner and a horned bearded mask in the centre of the side.
