Ibis statuette

Figure of a squatting ibis. The eyes are recessed for the inlay, now missing. The neck is short, the chest flat, and the body tapers towards the end. The legs are bent, with the tips of the toes damaged, and are connected by a structure that evolves into a rectangular-section tenon. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
