The fragment comprises the front half of the face including the upper jaw. Teardrop-shaped tears run from the large pointed oval eyes. The muzzle has been carefully worked out (whiskers, deeply incised nostrils). The entire face, with the exception of the bridge of the nose, is covered with chiselled circles and ellipses as a hint of the spotted coat.
