content: Lidded vase. The vase features three ram heads who hold a draping garland from their mouths. The horns of the rams are looped and come close to touching the horns of the next ram. The bottom of the vase narrows and is adorned with fluting, a wave pattern, and egg-and-dart ornamentation. The vase is elevated on a platform that extends to the edge of the image. The plate is signed and numbered.
