The open smiling mouth is pierced by a round hole for the spout. His teeth are shown as a single horizontal band. The nose was broad. Wide open eyes have arched upper lids and single large drilled holes for the pupils. Furrows between eyebrows and on forehead and crow’s feet are grooved. Above the pointed ears are the round stumps of horns. The hair, parted r. of center, waves up from his forehead in three clumps, each roughly grooved. Three holes (diam. 0.008) are in the top of the head for attachment to a fountain. The square background block is only barely wider than the head. The water channel widens at back of the block.

Eyes, and style in general, look later than the series of head capitals (Cat. 197, Cat. 198, Cat. 199, Cat. 200, Cat. 201, Cat. 202, Cat. 203, Cat. 204, Cat. 205, Cat. 206, Cat. 207, Cat. 208, Cat. 209, Cat. 210 Figs. 349-370) but the tradition is the same.
