A glazed upper body of a dancing female modelled in the half-round, holding one arm behind her head, the other around the front of her nude body; her stylised facial features rendered as large almond-shaped eyes, full-lips, high, fleshy cheeks and voluptuous breasts; accompanied by a custom-made display stand. Cf.

Sotheby's 12 August 1978, lot 444 (part). Ex Mohamed Makriya collection. Images of women are often found attached to Roman glazed pottery. This one, probably, was a part of a handle and possibly representing a Nymph, or Venus. Similarities with this representation can be found on fragments from Novae, in Moesia II. [No Reserve]
