Description

A small terracotta figure of an animal with two long upright horns, a short snout and a round eye, standing on four stubby legs. Its body is modelled in simple, rounded forms with a rough, pitted surface and a few cracks, and a short tail sits at the rear. It is photographed in profile, facing left, on a plain pale background that casts a faint shadow beneath its feet.
