We have also a young girl in the Louvre collection, but she stands in a maze of lotus plants (fig.
250), and is in the act of gathering a bud.

A bunch of stems, from which emerge two full-blown blossoms, unites the handle to the bowl of the spoon, which is in reverse position, the larger end being turned outwards and the point inwards.

Elsewhere, a young girl (fig.

251) playing upon a long- necked lute as she trips along, is framed in by two flowering stems.
Sometimes the fair musician is standing upright in a tiny skiff (fig.

252); and sometimes a girl bearing offerings is substituted for the lute player.
Another example represents a slave toiling under the weight of an enormous sack.
