Description	The figurine is of a complete boar, standing on a sub-rectangular base. The appearance of the boar is very naturalistic, with incised detail to represent the eyes and hair. The nose is upturned, with a small cast tusk to either side. The ears are sub-rectangular with a small depression at the front. The moulded crest runs from between the ears to the tail, with incised vertical lines to represent the bristles, the crest is sub-triangular in cross section. The tail is short and moulded in such a way as to represent a curl in the tail. The front legs are angled slightly forward, and the back legs are bent. There is a slight casting flaw between the back legs. The hooves are cast directly onto the rectangular base, which is worn and damaged around the edges (PAS).
