So we can see a Neoclassical human figure, that is a warrior with his helmet depicted while he is trowing a spear, surrounded by the rustic decor in yellow and blue. This kind of decor evoques the Luca Della Robbia well known rounded artworks in white and blue majolica surrounded by a rich fruit branch in yellow. This piece has some losses but it doesn't loose its stronger expressive value. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
