Statuette with Nymph and Young Satyr
The Nymph is holding a trumpet shape to her side, resting the point on her hip. Her right hand is steadying it as well as holding the end of the cloth that is wrapped around her waist. Her left hand is grabbing the hand of the Satyr, who seems to be surprising her, coming out of his hiding place in the reeds that are depicted around him. They stand on a round base. It has been incompletely fired.
