This terracotta base is decorated with seven, high relief busts, perhaps an effigy of gods. Identifying the faces is hard to decipher due to the absence of any distinctive attributes. The only which can be identified is the three headed figure which could represent the God Mercury. This type of vase was only known to be produced in Bavay (North of France).
