The image shows a terracotta sculpture of a stylized four-legged animal, which appears to be a rhinoceros given its size, body shape, and the prominent horn on its nose. The body of the creature is robust and decorated with intricate swirling patterns carved into the clay. The rhinoceros has a saddle-like structure on its back, suggesting it might have been used as some form of container or incense burner, as there is a small bowl-like opening on the creature's back. The rhino is depicted in a stationary standing position and rendered with a certain degree of abstraction. The color of the material is a reddish-brown, typical of fired clay. The background is plain and pale, highlighting the details of the pottery. Please note that while describing images, the cultural context and the intended use of objects might require careful consideration, and further research might be necessary to provide accurate descriptions beyond the visual aspects. However, as an AI, I cannot do further image searches or provide additional context from the image alone.

The image shows a small ceramic figure of what appears to be an animal, possibly a hippopotamus or a rhinoceros. The figure is made of a reddish-brown clay material and features intricate swirling and spiral patterns carved or molded into its surface. The shape of the figure is quite stylized and abstract, with a rounded, curved body and a short, stubby snout or horn. The overall effect gives the figure a whimsical, almost cartoonish appearance. The background of the image is a plain white or light gray, which helps to highlight the texture and details of the ceramic figure.
