NEPTUNENeptune upon the Hippocapmus, with a Trident in one Hand, and a Dolphin in the other, resting upon the Head of the Sea-Horse, whose Fore-part and Legs are of a dark Colour, the hinder Parts and Tail blewish, and scaled like a Fish: The Body of the Deity is of a tawny Carnation, the Head is unhappily wanting, only the Tassels of the Beard extend to the Breast. It is of Earthen Ware, and very well performed, about ten Inches high to the Shoulders, and the rest proportionable. Tis different from all the modern Sorts of Earthen Ware that I have observed, which hath made the Description more particular, to know whether the Criticks will allow it to be of Roman Antiquity; in which Times we are told they had Images of their Gods, not only of Silver, Brass and Stone, but Earthen Ware. I should not have been so pendulous if I was certain that it was found at Aldburgh, (from whence my Father had many Roman Curiosities transmitted by Mr. Gilbert the Vicar) but being then very young, I cannot be positive.
