Risus
Description
Terre cuite blanche. Figurine incomplète (en 3 fragments recollés). Il manque une partie du socle. Les caractéristiques de cette figurine sont assez proches des modèles précédents mais le personnage représenté ici comporte un toupet formé de quelques touffes, sur le sommet du front et une chevelure sur l'arrière du crâne formée de boucles (?) courtes (boulettes d'argiles écrasées), figurant des cheveux crépus (?). Le reste du crâne est chauve. L'oreille est 'carré' et creusée, les yeux plus ronds et le nez plus pointu que sur le modèle n°19. Il s'agit indéniablement d'un adulte d'âge mûr. La figurine est sensiblement plus grande que la moyenne. Le socle ne comporte pas de cordon à sa base. Comparaisons : Une chevelure traitée suivant le même principe figure au N° 699 du catalogue du Musée de St-Germain en Laye.
