label: Description
content: Vase with sphynxes sitting on the shoulder of the form. There is a ram's head knob at the center of the vase, placed between the sphynxes whose tails wrap together below the ram's head. The body of the vase is carved to appear like draped cloth. On the left and right side, where the cloth gathers, are goats' legs. The foot of the vase is scalloped, and the vase is elevated on a low, corniced socle. The print is lettered but is missing the numbering found in earlier editions.
