Enamel-painted Figures

166.2a. Note the small animal beneath Ceres's left foot. Courtesy Malcolm Trundley.

166.5a. Ceres (L). Impressed CERES beneath. Attributed to Neale/Wislon. Note the object at her feet, not the norm on marked examples, as illustrated in 166.5 in the book. For info on the unusual Apollo alongside, see 159. APOLLO on this site. These atypical versions of these figures are recorded in basalt. Courtesy Malcolm Trundley.

166.12a. Like 166.12 and from the same pot bank (Brown Base Group) but note the small differences in that there is more wheat spilling out the cornucopia and the posy she holds differs. Courtesy eBay seller thatvintageshop.
