Figure of Boy
18th century (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Figure of a boy, seated, with the left knee raised and both hands raised, presumably to carry an object; but the vase and hands are reconstructions and therefore conjectural. Both are smiling, and have shaved heads with a single knot of hair on the side of the head. Wearing patterned shirt-tunic, high-waisted baggy trousers and blue cloth shoes. Moulded, with flat unglazed base.
