Perennius

Perennius was a Roman artist known for their work in terracotta, a type of fired clay. This fragment of a vessel, likely a cup or bowl, depicts a scene with a figure playing double pipes, suggesting a musical theme. The simple but expressive style of the relief work is characteristic of Roman terracotta art, which was often used for everyday objects and decorative elements. The use of a reddish-brown terracotta, a common material in Roman art, adds to the authenticity and historical context of the piece.
