Technical Summary
The similarity in modeling suggests that the figure was made from the same mold as 1942.9.593. The base is flat and unglazed and reveals clear traces of bivalve mold joins. The heads of both figures have been broken off, reattached, and repainted. The head of the rodent on the sleeve has also been repaired.
