This Medecis terra cotta garden vase is decorated across the middle with an Antique frieze. A parade of mythological characters surround the vase: Centaur, naide, putti and a young ephebe. This rich décor is framed by two imposing ram head handles and a geometrical frieze below.
Similar model to those in the Versailles palace gardens.
