<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 363091, member: 5833&quot;]I see the (somewhat larger?) figure wreathed in flora, draped over more of the body, with - I think - a pelt as well as flowers &amp; raised finger, as the girl.&nbsp; The plainer (smaller) figure with no noticeable wreath, draped only tastefully at the lap, is the boy, holding the urn.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s such a riot of details the image is rather chaotic, it&#039;s hard to make a coherent image.&nbsp; Think those are 2 oversized, stylized stalks of grain crossing over his arm.&nbsp; There are 2 more on the ground to the left of the urn.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]124150[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t see it as well as I would like, so not completely confident in some of these observations.&nbsp; Think she has a pelt draped across her &amp; is sitting on part of that one or another.&nbsp; This brings bacchantes &amp; nymphs to mind.&nbsp; She is wreathed in flowers, like Flora, but the grain brings in Ceres/Demeter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t sort out the boy, can&#039;t tell if he also has some kind of wreath or is it all hair?&nbsp; Nothing to go by with him.</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course it could be wine, back to bacchantes &amp; fauns, or allegorical for flowing water.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Afraid I just see poor modeling, not any effort to stem the flow.&nbsp; The convention is to have one hand holding the vessel by the rim.&nbsp; This looks like lazy work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whole thing does not have what I call mythologic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
