Ship's prows

A triton vigorously blowing into his conch and fearsome lion heads form the decorative ornament of the two ship’s rams shown here. This small scrap of paper was originally part of a larger drawing that included IX 5159-35-32-1. It was subsequently torn off along a weakened fold in the paper.
