Description
Tall, slender camel with a slightly arched neck moving to the right. Head stretched high with open mouth painted internally in red. The upper lip is underlined by parallel incisions that make it wrinkled in appearance. The color of the coat is light ocher, with areas of woolly fur in a reddish-brown colour. The roughness of the hair was probably obtained with semi-liquid clay applied by hand on the molded base. The humps emerge from a white cloth with a double orange and black border.
