Description	The lower fore-quarters with the very top of the legs survive of a hollow-cast miniature animal. The neck seems to thrust forward and to have been cut off and the upper edge of one flank shows similar treatment. The other edges are irregular and roughly broken. On the belly of the beast, and running along the break is a series of cells which, as the complete example shows, were V-shaped and were probably intended to represent dugs. No trace of enamel survives. The type of animal is unidentifiable. The casating has a flaw just above the right foreleg (Mackreth)
