Physical description
Carving of a figure sitting on the back of a part-bird part-canine creature. The figure is sitting with their knees bent, and hands held to their face. The figure appears to have ribs exposed, long animal-like ears on top of their head, and a spiked fan-like extension on the back of their head. The winged creature has a bird body tail feathers that extend down to the base, and an oversized canine-like head with long snout and long pointed ears. The back of the bird is carved with concentric V-shapes, and then straight vertical lines down the tail feathers. The upper back, and bottoms of the upper figure are carved with the same curved line marks.
