Description
Description part summary
Lead two-humped camel, the head thrown back and to one side. The camel is lying down with legs underneath, one protruding, a shaggy mane and details; the base with a circular plug. Such camels have been known to decorate Buddhist lead shrines of this period and the circular plug here renders such a use likely for this example.
