Figure of a standing ichneumon upon a naos. The animal stands upright on its hind legs, with his front limbs raised in adoration. An erect uraeus crowns its head. The uraeus’s tail curves backward and continues along the ichneumon’s head. The ears are rounded and well modelled, with fine parallel incisions indicating fur. The eyebrow ridges are indicated; the almond-shaped lateral eyes are recessed for inlay, now missing. The head is slender and elongated, with a mane beneath it decorated by radiating incisions. The body is covered with short incisions to suggest the details of the fur. The hind legs are bent. The tail runs along the right side of the body, decorated with short incisions. The figure stands atop a naos with a cavetto cornice, the rear of which is irregular. The naos flares slightly at the base and bears an incised inscription on the front within a rectangular frame bordered by thin lines; the inscription continues briefly onto the right side. The figure is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for hollow casts.
