Pig-shaped rattle. A small ceramic figurine in the shape of a pig, likely a toy rattle. The animal stands on small legs; the oval muzzle is schematic and the eyes are asymmetrical, with a hole at the nose. Ears are triangular and placed at different heights, matching the limbs in shape and size. The pig has a clearly defined tuft of hair. On the right front leg there is a preserved white pelmet no. 403. 6th–3rd century BC earlier dating: 6th–5th century BC. Possibly Greece or Cyprus. Toy, ceramics. Height 5.4 cm, width 4.5 cm, depth 7.5 cm, weight 0.05 kg., A small rounded sculpture resembling an animal with a snout and small ears sits on a flat surface; the object appears textured and pitted with a weathered, earthy surface showing shades of brown and tan, with lighter beige spots and subtle darker speckles, while the background and surface beneath are smooth and medium gray.
