Description

A terracotta figurine photographed against a pale grey backdrop. The figure has a four-legged body with a tail curving upward, and a human-like upper torso rises from its back with one arm bent up to the head. Long braided hair falls over the shoulders and a thick band encircles the waist where the torso meets the body; the surface is plain and slightly worn.
