Description

A small metal figurine of a standing animal, photographed in side view against a plain grey background. It has a long narrow head, a slender neck, two long ridged horns curving backwards, and thin legs ending in hooves. The surface is rough and slightly pitted, and a pale patch of tape or mount shows near the top of the horns.
