@Oputz,
Hmm. I think security may be pretty high at the Getty, Janet, but this is a small piece. Maybe it wouldn't be missed, tee hee. Thanks for your kind and fun comment!

@Odeteswann, I agree that it's remarkable that it's reassembled but complete after all these centuries.

I agree with both of you that it looks more modern, at least from no earlier than the late 19th century.

Oputz

Absolutely beautiful, at first thought is was contemporary....
(How do we break into the Getty, Carol...?)

Odetteswann

Incredible that it has survived all this time! And so pretty and modern looking. I know, I know, “reassembled”, but still, to have the pieces.
