Das Tier hat den Kopf zur Seite gewandt und den Rachen weit aufgerissen. Hinterkopf und Nacken sind glatt gearbeitet, die Mähne als krausenartige Nuppenreihe angedeutet. Stark treten die mandelförmigen Augen mit eingezeichneter Iris hervor. Die eingezeichnete Palmettenschnauze ist großteils weggebrochen.
Solche Tiere wurden paarweise am Eingang zur Grabkammer aufgestellt.
