专家说明

Item one, cf. L. Burn and R. Higgins, Catalogue of Greek Terracottas in the British Museum, III, London, 2001, p. 144, no. 2374, for similar, where the authors note that "the absence of a wreath allows the possibility that this is a parody of a philosopher, such as Socrates, rather than a satyr".
