Catalogue Note
L'effigie adu adopte une pose classique - jambes fléchies, buste droit, mains tenant une coupe reposant sur le sternum -, tandis que le haut rang social de l'ancêtre est signifié par la richesse de l'ornementation : haute coiffe ciselée, boucle d'oreille et collier. Très belle tension des lignes et des courbes. Ancienne patine nuancée, brune, caramel dans le bas du dos.
