Holding a large bowl in his lap, this fellow drinks
through a straw. This may represent a scene of
ritual intoxication or simply a vignette from
everyday life. Concentrating deeply on the
contents of the bowl, perhaps lost in a magical
dream, he seems not to notice the changes in the
world around him. Perhaps it is an elixer of youth
that he imbibes, for he appears to have altered
very little in all these years.
