Flower pot
LL 1345
Information
This flower pot is made in white jasper which has been dipped in green jasper. The white decoration is made in moulds and then applied in a process known as sprigging. The sprigging on this pot depicts two Muses, the 'Dipping of Achilles' and a 'Sacrifice to Aesculapius'
The shape of the flower pot is copied from the shape of an ancient Roman funerary monument known as a cippus.
