Untitled work
Description
Sculpture représentant une tête de profil, probablement un lion de mer. Les bords sont arrondis. La sculpture est complête. Le revers est concave et ne présente pas de moyen de suspension ou d'attache. Il n'y a pas d'ouverture traversante pour les yeux et la bouche qui sont juste gravés. Il reste des traces de couleurs: du blanc dans les rainures autour des yeux, du rouge dans la fente de la bouche, du noir sur le dessus du museau et entre les dents. Le revers ne présente pas de couleur. Sur le dessus du museau, les nombreux trous sont souvent bouchés avec des petites chevilles du diamètre d'une allumette qui maintenaient les poils du nez, quelques restes en sont encore visibles.
