Zoomorphix pyxis

Zoomorphix pyxis

A vessel in the form of a pig.
Ears ans snout are rendered in relief  and small depressions were probably for inset eyes.

On the underside, four tiny protuberances represent the legs, on which the trotters are cloven by a fine incisión.
On the rear of the base the rudimentary tail is carved in relief. A small hollow in the back constuitutes the container.
