Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A dark, recumbent jackal-like figure is shown lying on its side with legs drawn in and a raised head facing right.
The artifact is a low, recumbent animal figure with a long snout and a pointed, upright ear, rendered in a matte dark surface. The body is arched and rests on a rectangular base. The head is raised above the body, oriented to the right, with the mouth closed and the nose projecting forward. The torso has minimal decorative detail; pigment/color differences appear to mark subtle modeling rather than clearly legible patterning. No carved hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible in the photographed view. No explicit signs of modern restoration or detachable components are clearly identifiable from this image alone.
