Small bowl. Aberrant ovolo composed of repeated, conventionalised, conjoined dolphins, bordered above and below by rows of small beads. Seven beaded rosettes in the field. The decoration is composed of detached, floral festoons in the concavities and interspaces of which are figure-subjects. The terminal stalks of the festoons end in four bilateral leaves and a spiral-bud pendant (cf.B.M. M. 1085). The figure-subjects depicted are : (1) In the interspaces of the festoons, two large cupids ; (a) Cupid to R., but almost full-faced (cf.D.231 Lezoux) and (b) Cupid to R. (cf.D.234). (2) In the concavity of the festoon are two small gladiators : (a) retreating to L. (cf.D.587) (b) advancing to L (cf.D.611) A row of small beads forms a lower border to the design. Fairly good brick-red glaze ; execution moderate.]
