Catalogue Description:
Large alabaster figure of a trussed duck in the round. Interior hollowed out to form receptacle. Probably originally fitted with cover in form of duck’s head. Condition: General condition good, rim chipped, surface slightly worn. Down center of one side are faint traces of marks which may possibly be an effaced inscription. This seems improbable.
