| Description | A prominent bristled back bone runs the length of the body with small striations possibly representing hair. The boar.s head is stylised in cylinder shape with a small protrusion at the end representing the mouth and bottom lip. The ears are represented by notches on the main body. The body and head are smooth and undecorated. There is an indentation or groove running on the underside of the boar. It runs between the front and back legs. This indentation is narrow at the front and becomes wider between the back legs. The legs are oval in shape with the back ones thicker and more muscular. A small oval section extends from the back of the boar representing the tail (PAS). |
