Description
-
Harry Vital’s maquette is similar to his shrine terracotta sculptures, made up of expressive layers. The base is flat with a rounded shoulder featuring circular windows and connected lines; there is a snail at the front. Upwards, the next layer's walls are closer connected with spiral cones extending outward. The top is a two-headed serpent-lizard.
