Minto, 364f and fig. 7. See fig. 53.
Between two laurels, the tops of which meet in the shape of an arch above his head, Cautes is standing in his usual attitude and dress (red with green). In his upraised r.h. he holds a torch above a fire-altar; with the other hand he points down a bundle of twigs. Underneath this bundle a crowing cock is visible, painted in a shade of green, with a red crest.
