Arretine Bowl Mold Fragment
n.d.
The fragment preserves an upper portion of a mold for a bowl. It depicts the head of a lion with open jaws confronting a small nude figure of which only the upper portion is preserved. The youth holds a torch in his left hand; in his outstretched right hand he holds a rope or a lead. Along the top, a row of bosses above and egg and dart pattern.
