Description

A small clay vessel shaped as a standing four-legged animal with two long horns, a blunt snout and short stubby legs. A thick looped handle arches from the top of the back down to the rump, and faint incised lines mark the body. The surface is greyish and pitted, and the figure stands on a pale backdrop with its shadow cast to the right.
