MODEL OF A PIGSTY

Description Circular pigsty with a sloping roof crowned by a bulb. The surface evokes a straw roof held together by bundles of branches: these are indicated by six radiant ribs, each raised in the centre and at the end as if to suggest two antefixes. The roof is welded from the display case to the cylindrical wall below, in which the square entrance and fourteen tall, narrow rectangular openings have been cut out. Three soft horizontal threads conclude the decoration: one above the alignment of the openings, one below, the third towards the base of the model. Inside there is a pig with an incised striated back, looking towards the entrance. The glazing covers the entire piece, inside and out, except for the base.
