Sitting jackal-like dog of white baked clay. Pedestal and lower part of the front legs are gone, some spots of rust brown, gray and black dirt deposits on the surface. White pipe earthy clay, no slip or cover. Vertical joint edge visible over body. Round hole under dogs l. armpit called an old air hole. Dog, but it seems a bitch of yak-neck type, especially clear at the head with pointed upward tapered ears. Around the neck double cord, with a bell or bell in the middle. Completely preserved analogies teach that the dog rested on a flat base, where only the hind legs have something left
