Description

A small terracotta figurine of a four-legged animal stands on stubby legs, with rounded ears, a short raised knob on top of its head, and a thick band of applied clay around its neck. Its plain surface shows small pits and slight wear. The figure is photographed alone in three-quarter view on a pale background, and the print is mounted on a card with a border.
