| Description | Statuette of a dog resembling an Aberdeen terrier. His mouth is open showing the two eye-teeth. He is facing slightly to his right with pricked ears giving an alert appearance. The tail is curled over his back. The fur is suggested by incised, curving lines. (A-J and McKay). Suggest it might not be from Coventina's Well but possibly Chesters. |
