This bust represents Philip Neri. The bearded saint is shown in the form of a bust, but including arms and hands. He holds a string of black rosary beads made of glass in his right hand, and wears a black soutane and biretta. A tear can be seen falling from his left eye. The painted terracotta bust is set unto a white glazed terracotta base. A coarse linen has been used to cover the join. The upper part of the piece (the figurative element) was apparently modelled from a pink clay, while the lower half (the relatively plain socle) is of a yellower clay, glazed like Spanish faience ware. The two parts seem to have been joined when the piece was first made - there are no signs of a later break or glue. The socle appears to have been once covered all over in black silk and only some of this now survives. On the inside of the socle is painted in black the word 'Phot', or possibly 'Pliot'.
