Description

A small terracotta figurine of a four-legged animal, shown in side view on a plain pale background. The legs are long and slender, and the body has a smooth, mottled dark surface with worn patches. The raised head has a short muzzle and a pointed projection on top, and a bar-like element joins the neck to the body; a strong cast shadow falls to the left.
