Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
New York, United States
A herme with a woman's bust supporting the entablature, rises from a dado in front of the wall. A sanke surround the lower parts. Niches are laterally placed. A sacrificing priestess is shown in the left one, a child holds the incense boy--two dancing puttis holding wreaths and garlands dragging from a candelabrum are shown in the right niche.
