Inlay of a Head of a Crocodile
Description
<p>Dark cobalt blue glass inlay crocodile head. The head is in profile and faces toward the left. The head and features are only cursorily modeled and not particularly realistic. The six visible teeth are inlaid with opaque white glass and fit exactly into the hollowed sockets. The ear is modeled and lies flat along the top of the head. A round bead has been inserted into the eye socket, but it does not fill the socket.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/47.123' rel='external'>Inlay of a Head of a Crocodile</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
