Description

A small terracotta figure of an animal, shown in profile against a plain grey backdrop. It has a long tapering projection extending to the left, a thick body, a raised neck and a head with a chipped, angled top to the right, and four short stubby legs. The surface is pitted and rough, and a pale card border with cut corners surrounds the print.
