Description

A fine impasto rocchetto head fragment which, though heavily worn, preserves a stamp.  The head is very slightly convex, sloping down to the rounded edge after which the head curves concavely into the shaft.  The shaft is max. pres. height of 0.021 m.  The stamp, located slightly off-center on the head, consists of an impressed circle inside which are three sets of three lines, the central one projecting upward, the outside two slanting or curving towards one another.  These sets of line are topped by an arcing line with curling ends.  At the very center is a triangular shape with slightly concave sides.  The three shapes in the middle of the stamp likely represent volute shapes.
