Risus
Description
Terre cuite blanche. Figurine incomplète (en 7 fragments recollés). Les caractéristiques de cette figurine sont toujours très semblables au n° 19 (D.92.1.106) mais ce personnage, outre des plis sur le front et sur la nuque, comporte une chevelure rase sur la base du crâne, entourant une calvitie d'adulte déjà mûr. Un fin collier de barbe, soigneusement taillé vient renforcer cette idée. Ici, de toute évidence sur la même base, le sourire du 'Risus' a été représenté un adulte. Le socle comporte trois cordons à la base.
Subject depicted
