Studio Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

At Studio Le Fournas in Vallauris, 1953, a fragmented, mask-like object hangs on a rough wall. Likely made of terracotta, the weathered piece features crudely painted, stylized eyes—one almond-shaped, the other a set of concentric circles—and a pronounced, sculpted nose. A thin wire looped through the top secures it to the wall, descending to entangle with another wire system. From this, the tops of two large, curved ram's horns are visible at the bottom of the frame, suspended against the pale, imperfect surface.
