The tail is attached to the right hind leg. The figure rests on a thin base. Part of the base is missing; the rest is irregular and in poor condition. From the centre of the base protrudes a massive tenon. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 3.8 cm x 11 cm x 10.2 cm. Museum location: Not on display.
