7th century (made)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Figure of a ram, buff-white earthenware with pale straw lead glaze. The figure is crudely-modelled, standing on a low base cut in the form of hollow and open beneath; it was evidently made in a two-part longitudinal mould. The glaze largely covers the upper part, running down over the legs in places.
