Animal head with carved ornament

An animal head is seen from the side, with a prominent eye and bands of ornament across its upper surface. Cracks and pale surface deposits are visible.

The available photograph is shown with its setting and surviving edges. Missing sculptural parts have not been reconstructed.

The label describes what is visible in the supplied photographs. No object-specific documentary identification has been established.

The place where a photograph was taken is not an archaeological findspot. General histories of the fort cannot establish the identity or age of this particular carving.

Camera metadata records 30 November 2025. This is the photograph’s recorded date, not the object’s date; the camera clock has not been independently verified.
