Description
Large statue in rigid posture on all fours with well-highlighted joints. The head is vigorously sculpted, with the mouth open, the lips raised to highlight the teeth and the tongue hanging to the left, the dilated froge and the round eyes. The mane starts from a tuft between the pointed ears and is otherwise cut short. The only harness consists of the headboard fixed with straps welded by studs. The glazing covers the statue up to above the knots, perhaps marking the leaping patches of the cloak. A limited glazing gap on the back seems to signal the original presence of a rider.
