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.
