Standing boar with short legs, facing forward. Both sides are modeled plastically, with the head cocked slightly so that the snout points to the right; if there was a preferred side for display it was likely the proper right. Two small, perked-up ears; rounded eyebrows rendered in relief; short, pointed snout. Naturalistic main body with simple shortened stumps for legs. A short mane runs down the body, from between the ears back to the rump. It would have been painted originally. Heavy white ground extant all over surface. Traces of red pigment visible on both ears. Heavy; perhaps mostly solid. Mold-made in a single bivalve mold. The legs appear to be handmade additions. No visible join seams (maybe hidden with the mane). Small venthole at back in between the hind legs; naturalistic placement. Creamy yellow clay, very finely levigated.
