La tête anthropo-zoomorphe d'homme-éléphant offre une très belle opposition entre l'élégance abstraite du jeu de courbes et de contre-courbes, et la rigueur géométrique de l'étrier. Grande délicatesse de des modelés et belle patine brun nuancé, brillante sur les parties saillantes, croûteuse par endroits.
