Pew Group of Two Musicians
Production: Unknown
White salt-glazed stoneware, hand-modelled, with applied moulded, and pierced decoration and brown clay and slip details. The two musicians are seated on a high-backed settle which is pierced in the middle by a rounded triangular hole, and three small circular holes, above which is a horse in relief and below a hound in relief. The top of the settle is missing. Its left end is decorated with brown and white clay stripes; the right end has lost these and is painted with brown lines. The lower part of the back is pierced by five arched rectangular apertures, but one of the separating piers is missing. Both men wear long curling wigs, waistcoats and coats with many buttons, and shoes with brown buckles. The man on the viewer's right plays the violin, and the one on the left holds a bagpipe. Something, probably a dog, is missing from the bench between the figures.
