Exceptionally and powerfully worked in the form of a beast with an undulating silhouette defined with crisp edges, the head of the beast depicted with a long horn issuing along the contours and ending in an upcurled tip, the head portrayed diving far down, as if peering over an edge, further rendered with a prominent and broad snout ending in an arc-shaped tip, the muscular body terminating in a bifurcated tail and decorated with subtle relief on each side with scrolls, the bent limbs further exquisitely adorned with zoomorphic outlines, incised with two undeciphered characters,5 1/8"L x 3"H
