The figure is finished in a high-gloss off-white glaze, accented with soft rose-pink shading across the snout, upright ears, tail, and hooves. Measuring approximately 20 cm high by 30 cm long, the hollow pottery casting has an unglazed underside to the feet and a central firing vent. Fine, age-typical crazing is visible across the glaze surface, consistent with decorative earthenware from this era. See less
