Comments
A cast was made of this piece in the 19th century and the photograph on this page is a photograph of this cast (Courtauld Institute of Art, Witt and Conway Library, no. 237). In the Conway Library, this piece is designated as a writing tablet, though, judging from the format, this is unlikely.
