Description

A terracotta figurine of a four-legged animal with a long, upswept horn rising from the head, a pointed muzzle and a small ear. Two round holes pierce the rounded body, and the legs are short and thick. Several cracks show along the neck, belly and lower legs, and the figure stands on a pale grey backdrop.
