Description
Content (description)
On left a nude female has a crown on her head and a drape falling behind her neck. A curved object, like a chair-back, runs behind her and projects by her side; from its ends a drape hangs in front of her thighs. The drape hides the junction between her body and the pedestal below, around which are set three masks with swags of drapery hanging from mouth to mouth. On right is a very similar herm of a satyr, whose head is festooned with leaves. The foot of the pedestal is completed in ink.
