| Description | A very fine, naturalistically modelled goat, possibly part of a larger group, showing remarkably clear details of horns, beard and fleece of fat curls. The head is turned slightly to the right and down to the left. The punched holes for the pupils are not level, nor are the ears. The mouth is slightly open and the short tail curls upwards (Bagnall Smith). |
