The image of a person is conveyed by moulded relief rollers. It has round face, long straight nose, eyebrows converging towards it, almond-shaped eyes, no pupils, and smiling mouth. Hands are represented by thin adhesions going from the shoulders of the vessel to the bottom, where they converge.
Also, the pendant of the jewellery on the lace is represented by rollers on the chest. View in 3D
