This type of humorous piece, very popular at the time, blends artisanal skill with a whimsical spirit.

The modeling of the face is particularly well done: rosy cheeks, a prominent nose, squinty eyes, and a mischievous smile, all enhanced by the brilliant polychromy typical of earthenware from this period.
