Descriptions

Description
Bearded man with traveler's hat and short mantle seated on a rock, his arms around his left knee. Tied to the satchel in front of him is a vessel of the same type as the one that bears this image.
Commentary
This vessel is remarkable for the self-referential image it bears, showing a mug suspended from the traveler's satchel.
