Description

A small bronze figure of a seated animal faces right, with a thick mane of ridged locks around its head and chest. The metal surface is pitted and slightly corroded, and the forelegs are straight with the paws resting on a flat base bar that has a small hole. The photograph is mounted on a pale card with a narrow border.
