Description
The sculpture depicts a quadrupedal animal walking amidst tall grass or reeds. Birds are flying above the animal. The color of the sculpture appears to be a uniform grey, suggesting it may be made from stone or a similar material. This sculpture is a relief, meaning it is carved into a flat surface, giving it a three-dimensional effect within its rectangular frame. The figures are slightly raised from the background, allowing the details to stand out in relation to the flat surrounding surface.
