A Naples, Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, biscuit bust of Jupiter Ammon, circa 1780-1806

Modelled by Filippo Tagliolini on a circular pedestal with a plaque inscribed GIO.AMMONE, on a square base, 18.2cm high (tiny chips to edge of base)

A similar example, but with different pedestal and base, is in the Museo Civico, Naples (illustrated in A. Caròla-Perrotti, Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli (1986), no. 488).

The model also exists in Doccia porcelain, an example of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (accession no. C.287-1915). It is part of a set of busts which are after antique marbles and bronzes discovered at the Villadei Papiri in Herculaneum, now in the Archaeological Museum in Naples.
