- Description
- Zoocephalic comic figures or mimes.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- So far as can be observed through the weathering: buff fabric, consistently fired; uncommon, poorly sorted, mostly black but few white bits; thin, even(?) slip, orangish red. Weathering consistent with prolonged marine submersion.
- Preservation comment
- Intact but missing most of nozzle and three holes (two large) between relief on discus. Moderate to severe, extensive erosion and slight abrasion and chipping around edges; worn breaks. Weathering typical of marine submersion.
